Clear goals for growth

The Hindu  

Infrastructure, the services sector and social justice have been priority areas for the Democratic Front government during its four years in power. The four-year-old Democratic Front government in Maharashtra has set itself some clear goals, identifying infrastructure development, service sector enhancement and social reforms as the primary areas of importance. Shinde also referred to the proposed Golden Triangle road development project between Mumbai, Pune and Nashik, which will infuse new life into the industrial sector in the western section of the State. In his Independence Day-eve speech, the Chief Minister called upon the people to back the government's policies based on "the tripod of social justice" in order to enable it to pass on the benefits of "social integrity, overall progress and its outflow to the grassroot level of society".
