Educators will guide discussions on its philosophical foundations. Special workshops and seminars will be held to underline the Constitution’s importance.

Street plays are encouraged to raise awareness, along with competitions in essay writing, debates, and elocution centered on constitutional themes. Local self-government meetings and state assembly sessions will begin with the reading of the Preamble.

To ensure the effective rollout of the ‘Ghar Ghar Sanvidhan’ initiative, a 12-member committee will be formed, chaired by the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra. At the district level, a 7-member committee, led by the District Collector, will oversee the initiative’s local implementation.

The population of this area is 2.35 crore and the area of the region is 6328 sq.

“Although there is a Mumbai Metropolitan Region Authority (MMRDA) in this area, its emphasis is on building infrastructure. There is lack of coordination between the local bodies and various authorities in MMR. Therefore, this region could not developed to its full potential. As a result, various projects and works of the local bodies are going on at a slow pace. Hence, the citizens are suffering due to the lack of basic amenities in the region,” said Rais Shaikh, MLA.

Shaikh further said Bhiwandi is a logistics and warehouse hub. “Navi Mumbai International Airport will be operational soon. There is Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in the area and a new port is being developed in Palghar district. Samruddhi Expressway, Virar-Alibag Multimodal Corridor, Coastal Highway, Railway Network are being developed that will create a huge transportation network in MMR,” added Shaikh.

He further said the projects in the area are being implemented by various authorities. “There is a lack of coordination between the authorities and the local bodies in the area. Therefore, there is a need for establishing seperate ministry for the MMR region that should be headed by a cabinet minister,” said Shaikh.

Nagpur: Addressing a public rally ahead of Maharashtra assembly elections, BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made an emotional appeal to the voters highlighting that despite been the Member of Legislative Assembly for 25 years, he does not own a house in Mumbai and is a proud Nagpurkar. Fadnavis is contesting from Nagpur South West, his hometown, where he is sitting MLA from 2009.
