PM Modi also went for a ‘darshan’ of Lord Ganesha at the 96-year old Lokmanya Seva Sangh at Vile Parle in Mumbai. The Prime Minister cancelled his visit to Nagpur at the last minute due to bad weather. The ‘Make in India’ programme is one of the flagship policy moves of PM Modi that recognises ease of doing business as the single most important factor to promote entrepreneurship. ‘Make in India’ has identified 25 sectors in manufacturing, infrastructure and service activities that can be boosted.
The Mumbai Metro Line or (MML 3) is a key project to improve the transport in the financial capital of India. A 33.5 km corridor running along Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ envisages to decongest traffic in Greater Mumbai.
