Now, citizens can suggest their ideas for the ‘Viksit (Developed) Maharashtra 2047' vision document, which is being prepared in line with guidelines set by the NITI Aayog.

On Wednesday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis chaired the meeting to discuss the draft structure of the document.

In the meeting, Fadnavis instructed senior officials to contribute their expertise to design a draft document that is not only sustainable but also progressive and focused on good governance. "Citizens, too, should be involved in making this important document. Public suggestions and ideas should be invited from citizens," the CM instructed during the meeting.

He also instructed that citizens' opinions should be gathered through WhatsApp, chatbots and online surveys and suggested a public competition to design the official logo for the vision document.
