During the Maharashtra Foundation Day event in Shivaji Park in central Mumbai's Dadar region, Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais lauded the state for being an economic powerhouse and a leader in cyber security implementation.

Governor Bais emphasised Maharashtra's important role in the country's development, citing its strong emphasis on cyber security. He emphasised that the state's populace is hardworking, enterprising, and progressive, which contributes to its success in industries such as manufacturing, banking, and services.

"Maharashtra is leading when it comes to implementing cyber security and providing cyber services to businesses and individuals. Maharashtra has the biggest strength in its population, which is hard-working, enterprising, and progressive. It is also an important centre when it comes to industrial manufacturing and the financial and service sectors," he said, per PTI report.

Cities like Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Kolhapur, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Solapur are key industrial hubs. Maharashtra's advantageous geographical characteristics have also aided industrial growth and drew domestic and global investment, the governor said.

"Our state is an economic and financial powerhouse which has always played an important role in the infrastructure development of the country. Maharashtra is one of the leading states when it comes to agriculture, industrial products and manufacturing, trade and transportation," he added.

Bais emphasised Mumbai's critical role in Maharashtra's development, as a hub for banking, corporate, financial, and entertainment sectors. He emphasised Mumbai's role as home to India's largest stock market and film industry, as well as its significance as a key port for international trade.

The governor commended Maharashtra's rich cultural legacy, diverse landscapes, and biodiversity-rich sanctuaries, which make it a popular destination for both Indian and foreign tourists.

"India's biggest share market and the film industry are also in Mumbai, and this city is one of the important ports, which witnesses international trade in a big way," Bais said and added, "One can have a glimpse of India through the diversity of Maharashtra, one of the states with the highest literacy. Our state has various high-quality universities and vocational training institutes that attract students, researchers, and scholars from all over the world."

Governor Bais concluded by urging citizens to utilise their right to vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, emphasising the importance of democratic involvement.
