Pune, September 30, 2023: Maharashtra’s Minister of Industries, Uday Samant, embarked on a visit to the iconic Shivsrushti project in Ambegaon (Budruk) during his recent tour of Pune. Shivsrushti, a monumental historical park dedicated to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is a visionary undertaking conceived by the late Padma Bhushan awardee, Shivshahir Babasaheb Purandare, and is currently being brought to life by the Maharaja Shivchhatrapati Prathishthan, Pune.
During his visit to Shivsrushti, Minister Uday Samant was accompanied by prominent figures, including trustees Jagdish Kadam, Vineet Kuber, Sunil Mutalik, Amrit Purandare, and Srinivas Veerkar, as well as MLA Bhimrao Tapkir, Deputy Collector, and Divisional Officer of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) Archana Pathare, and Administrative Officer of Shivsrushti, Anil Pawar.
One of the key highlights of Minister Samant’s visit was his expressed interest in establishing a reference library within the historic Thiba Palace in Ratnagiri, in collaboration with the Maharaja Shivchhatrapati Prathisthan. The trustees of Shivsrushti welcomed this proposal with open arms, highlighting their commitment to fostering education and preserving historical heritage.
Recognizing the substantial financial support required to realize the grandeur of Shivsrushti, Minister Samant pledged to reach out to industrialists across Maharashtra, urging them to contribute to the project. He promptly directed his team to initiate dialogues with industrialists in the Pune region, further cementing his commitment to the endeavor.
