Apr 8: At a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the state gave approval for setting up the Maharashtra Geotechnology Application Centre (MahaGeoTech). This new centre will use modern geospatial technology to support better planning, monitor environmental changes, and improve response during emergencies.
In addition, a resilience programme has also been cleared to enhance the state’s readiness for natural disasters and climate-related challenges. The programme will focus on improving coordination between departments and ensuring quicker, more effective action during crises.
Officials believe that these initiatives will help the government make more informed decisions and respond faster in critical situations. For the people of Maharashtra, this means improved safety, better planning, and stronger support during emergencies.
Overall, the move reflects the government’s growing focus on using technology to build a safer, more prepared, and future-ready state.
