Maharashtra government to transform 1,000 villages with the help of corporates

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the State government plans to transform 1,000 villages with the help of corporate sector, and the civil society over the next few years. He said corporate sector is already working with the government in various sectors through the CSR and “we thought of using their resources, knowledge, technology and planning and implementation skills”.He

said the corporate sectors’ expertise would be used to set up an institutional mechanism to amalgamate work done by different companies in different areas to transform 1,000 villages in collaboration with the State government.

He also said 50 per cent of the villages will be chosen by partnering agencies where some work is currently under way and the remaining would be those villages that score low on the Human Development Index.
