The HDI of the city
"The commission should make available around Rs 3.46 lakh crore for the
city during the five-year period between 2015-16 and 2019-20 looking at the
metro region's importance and need to enhance its rank among the top cities in
the world," Chavan s
aid to commission chairman Dr Y V Reddy and his colleagues at a presentation. Many ministers and IAS officers attended the meeting at Sahyadri guest house.
To make the city an attractive international destination and promote it as a tourist choice, the state insisted on larger funding in the years to come and demanded an extra Rs 1,700 crore to build the Surya water dam project in Thane district to service the metro region.
The state appealed to the commission to allocate up to Rs 10,000 crore to meet contingencies, besides Rs 4,175 crore for water purification and sewage disposal. The state wants around Rs 8,000 crore to maintain roads and government buildings besides Rs 3,380 crore for irrigation projects. Around Rs 21,097 crore are required to strengthen tourism and education infrastructure and modernize sales tax system and the forensic laboratories.
The thirteenth finance commission had facilitated Rs 91,709 crore for the state. Hope this improving HDI will make Mumbai, a better place for people of every strata and community.
