According to this news, the Maharashtra State Government has promoted different start-ups in various domains such as education, skill development, health facilities, agriculture, energy production, water and garbage management, administration, economic development, etc. Due to the motivation of Maharashtra State Government, youth is getting attracted towards different start-up ideas which are designed for proper utilization of resources available in the state. Also, the BJP Government will try to retain and boost the same business culture in Maharashtra in the future too. The Maharashtra State Innovation Society promotes different business ideas in youth for business development and start-up initiatives. This society provides an opportunity to youth to work on government projects. Various campaigns such as start-up fair and start-up week are executed in urban and rural areas of the state in order to brainstorm new ideas in youth and to set new business setups based on innovative ideas. 

Maharashtra startup week selects 24 projects and it provides them with an opportunity to work with the State Government in the respective department.

The Maharashtra State Government has taken an encouraging stand for different start-up initiatives in the state. It will drive creativity, a talent for different business ideas and its practical realisation for various purposes. Honourable Revenue Minister of Maharashtra, Shri Chandrakant Dada Patil has always promoted the youth, and college students to use their skills for business purposes instead of only contributing to jobs and services.
