Even after battling the three waves of COVID-19, Maharashtra did not allow any depletion to become a one Trillion Dollar economy in the country, said the governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Sunday.
He said that the state will be the first in the country to achieve this economic landmark, in his address to mark the 62nd Maharashtra Day celebrations in the presence of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Ministers and other top dignitaries.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government also tackled the pandemic in a well-planned manner and set an example before the entire nation, more than 92 per cent adult population has been administered at least one dose of Corona vaccine and work is on to cover the rest soon, said the Governor.
The MVA plans to set up a Bulk Drugs Park in Raigad on 2,500 acres and a Medical Equipment Park at the Auric Smart City near Aurangabad on 350 acres, said the Governor.
The government slashed VAT on CNG from 13.5 to 3 per cent to boost the use of eco-friendly fuel, is promoting waterways in a big way with water taxis launched, and jetties coming up in Palghar, Thane, Raigad and Ratnagiri.
