He added that Maharashtra, under the stewardship of Hon. Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis Ji, continues to play a pivotal role by contributing the largest share to India’s GDP and positioning itself as one of the best states in the country to do business.
German companies and skill partnerships
Highlighting Maharashtra’s role in Indo-German ties, Lodha Ji pointed out that over 200 German companies are already operating in the state. “Germany is admired for its precision, while India is known for its creativity and youthful energy. When these qualities come together, the possibilities are limitless,” he said, adding that the best of this partnership is yet to unfold.
In his capacity as Skill Development Minister, Hon. Shri Lodha Ji also drew attention to Germany’s dual-education model, which integrates theoretical learning with practical training. He called it a system that India can learn from, remarking, “By blending classroom education with hands-on experience, we can empower Maharashtra’s youth with world-class skills and prepare them for the global workforce.”
Cultural and historical connect
The Minister further connected the moment with larger cultural and historical milestones. He reminded the audience that October 2 was the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi Ji and Dussehra also marked the centenary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), founded in Nagpur.
Quoting RSS Sarsanghchalak Shri Mohan Bhagwat Ji, Lodha Ji said, “Even when faiths and ways of life differ, mutual respect can prevent wars and create lasting unity.”
He extended an invitation to the gathering to join in the year-long centenary celebrations of the RSS, describing it as the world’s largest social movement.
