At the beginning of the program, Mr. Hitesh Shankar, editor of Panchajanya, presented his thoughts on choosing Mumbai as location for this program. “Since Mumbai has faced many fanatic islamic attacks and intrusions and yet its courage and speed of development have not abated. So, we decided to organize this program in this courageous & colorful city for today’s brainstorming, where we are trying to make a thoughtful contribution to the development and good governance of India moving towards 2047”, he expressed.

In starting session, All India Executive Member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Shri V. A. Bhagaiya released a book based on Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. When asked in following interview “Why asking questions isn’t liked in our country?” Shri Bhagaiyaji silently answered, “India never had the restrictions for raising the questions, look at any Upanishad, the traditions have evolved as the younger generations seek answers to the questions asked. Even today, don't misunderstand the questioning generation. He opined that, this generation commands both, passion as well as intelligence.

The interview with Fisheries and Ports Development Minister Nitesh Rane reiterating Hindutva was passionate. He showed the practical Hinduism in his thoughts and conduct by giving a logical and concrete answer to every question raised. While answering a question about Halal meat sale, he mentioned the campaign of Hindu Khatik Samaj called 'Malhar Jhatka Meat' and appealed to stand for Hindu Khatik Samaj by spreading it more and more in day today practices.

Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi mentioned the importance of money in the society remembering “Kautilya’s Arthashastra” & expressed his opinion about the breakdown of historical facts in the various historical movies made by Bollywood which have gone unchallenged.

Apart from that, both actor Nitish Bhardwaj and actor Ravi Kishan expressed their opinions about encouraging the children to read books rather than engaging on the OTT platforms continuously. As this constantly listening to the first or fast content is not creating stability in children & need to be restricted to some extent.

Expressing his views, Maharashtra Governor Jishnu Sharma said that, just economic development alone cannot be a developed India. Government schemes and their benefits reaching to the very last element will be a true development. For that, we shall achieve the goal of good governance by strengthening a dialogue between the government and the society.

Mr. Siddharth Patni of ‘Seemant Seva Foundation’ expressed that, the security of the country is not only the responsibility of the army but also of the citizens and the entire society. Apart from this, interviews with Mrs. Chhaya Nanjappa, Mr. Ashish Kumar Chauhan, Swami Nityanand Puri were also thought provoking in their areas of expertise.

Maharashtra’s dynamic CM Shri. Devendra Fadnavis was present for the concluding session. "Maharashtra has a long tradition of entrepreneurship, innovation and public participation. Our challenge is to combine this strength with effective institutions and responsive governance as the state moves towards its next phase of development. We are bridging the gap through skill-based education and industry-driven educational institutions, while also creating more employment opportunities through new industries, supporting start-ups and investing in futuristic sectors like electric vehicles.

Alignment between our goals and our slogan is in perfect place. The state is working to rebuild energy and strengthen essential infrastructure such as water treatment plants, while pursuing development that is responsive to both people and the environment.” He expressed those thoughts in his speech.

The one-day dialogue session organized by team Panchajanya turned out to be more thought-provoking and innovative in order to create good governance by combining the actions of the government with greater participation of the society.
