One of the key projects is the upgrade of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur, estimated to cost around Rs.7,000 crore. This project is designed to spur economic growth and enhance connectivity in the region, making it a hub for manufacturing, aviation, tourism, logistics, and healthcare.
In addition, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for the New Integrated Terminal Building at Shirdi Airport, with a budget of over Rs.645 crore. This terminal, themed around the spiritual neem tree of Sai Baba, will cater to the growing number of religious tourists visiting Shirdi, providing world-class facilities and enhancing the travel experience.
To improve healthcare accessibility, PM Modi will inaugurate 10 new government medical colleges across the state. These colleges, located in major cities such as Mumbai, Nashik, Jalna, Amravati, Gadchiroli, Buldhana, Washim, Bhandara, Hingoli, and Ambernath (Thane), will significantly increase the number of undergraduate and postgraduate seats, offering specialized tertiary healthcare services.
Furthering his vision of making India the “Skill Capital of the World,” the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Indian Institute of Skills (IIS) in Mumbai. This institute, established through a Public-Private Partnership between the Tata Education and Development Trust and the Central government, will train an industry-ready workforce in advanced fields like mechatronics, artificial intelligence, data analytics, industrial automation, and robotics.
Moreover, the launch of the Vidya Samiksha Kendra (VSK) will revolutionize educational management. This initiative will provide students, teachers, and administrators with access to essential academic and administrative data through live chatbots, improving resource management in schools and strengthening the connection between parents and the state. The VSK will also offer responsive support and curated instructional resources to enhance teaching practices and student learning.
These projects are expected to have a significant impact on the socio-economic development of Maharashtra, creating direct employment and fostering growth across various sectors.
