Maharashtra Cabinet Approves Key Decisions
The Maharashtra government has made several important decisions.
They approved a new scheme called PM SETU to upgrade 1,000 government ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) and help students find jobs.
This scheme will start in three districts: Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Pune.
The government also decided to use a special system called TReDS to pay contractors who have not been paid yet, which will help small and medium businesses.
Additionally, they approved the revival of a spinning mill in Dhule and extended the lease period for government land to up to 49 years.
They also decided to waive a tax called stamp duty on the sale and purchase of certain properties called enemy properties to boost their sales.
Maharashtra cabinet approved the PM SETU scheme for modernizing 1,000 government ITIs, initially in Nagpur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Pune districts.
The cabinet decided to use the TReDS platform to clear pending payments for contractors, addressing outstanding dues of around ₹70,000 crore.
The revival of the Jawahar Shetkari Cooperative Spinning Mill in Dhule was approved.
The cabinet extended the lease period of government land to up to 49 years, with provisions for further renewal.
