Gates Foundation and Maharashtra: A Partnership for Innovation and Progress! ✨ It was a great pleasure to meet and welcome Mr. Bill Gates, in Mumbai, this morning. We had a very good discussion on varied subjects, including Maharashtra's initiatives and schemes for youth, farmers, the poor, and women, such as Lakhpati Didi and Ladki Bahin Yojana, which has contributed immensely to the economic upliftment. Also talked about the adoption of fast-changing latest technologies, and AI-driven initiatives across the State. Mr. Bill Gates shared that the Gates Foundation will partner with us to make Maharashtra malaria-free. We also discussed AI-driven advancements in health, agriculture, and infrastructure, along with dengue control and innovation city partnerships. I expressed that our vision includes digitalization in every sector and the establishment of a Skill University with the help of Microsoft to empower the youth with future-ready skills. A special initiative will focus on training 10,000 women in AI, fostering inclusivity in the tech revolution. Maharashtra is committed to becoming a model for digital governance and the right to service. I very much look forward to great collaborations for Maharashtra's social good ! @BillGates @BMGFIndia #Maharashtra #Mumbai
