As the coronavirus cases continue to rise in <keyword id="13126" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maharashtra">Maharashtra</keyword>, state School Education Minister Varsha Gaikwad has said schools will not reopen in the state before Diwali. Maharashtra has till now reported 15,17,434 COVID-19 cases and 40,040 deaths due to the disease. The Centre on March 16 announced closure of all educational institutions, including schools, colleges and universities, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. It has now allowed graded reopening of schools from October 15. Gaikwad, who recently recovered from COVID-19, said schools have been conducting virtual classes and teachers have been taking special classes for students in some areas. However, the challenge is to find a way to end the academic year and assess students, she said. "While we are exploring various options, it is clear that schools will not open before Diwali," Gaikwad said. According to senior officials in the state education department, reopening schools under the current circumstances is out of question, as there is no sign of the pandemic abating. State Higher and Technical Education Minister Uday Samant also said his department does not intend to reopen colleges until the COVID-19 situation is under control. "The situation is grim for students who wish to pursue higher studies abroad, as their future depends on our decision," he added. Even as the state government and bureaucracy mull over solutions, children and parents are worried as they seem to be caught in a quagmire. "I have taken an education loan and my parents are repaying it. If I don't get good grades in exams, how will I get a good job?" said Raviraj Humbe, an engineering student from <keyword id="2094" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pune">Pune</keyword>. There must be some technical solution for conducting exams and tests, he said. Meanwhile, education expert Kishore Darak suggested that the state government can club two or three educational years so that concerns of parents about academic loss can be addressed. While the safety of students is imperative, it is high time that the state comes up with a bipartisan approach towards education, he said. "The government must come up with a solution where local officials are authorised to take context-specific decisions like full or partial reopening of schools or alternate day scheduling of classes, among others," he said.

We can say Mumbai is the heart of Maharshtra and the Indian businesses. Mumbai residents enjoy a highly busy time all round the year especially on working days. Hence holidays bring them so much relaxation and an opportunity to attend to something important and interesting other than the regular official routine. October 2019 brings with it a number of holidays due to a national event and two religious festivals. Look at the calendar below to understand the Maharashtra public holidays in October 2019 and plan in advance so that you get to use the holidays in the best way possible. Dussehra is an important festival in Maharashtra stretching over for ten days. Thought eh public holiday allows only one day to take off from the work on 8 October 2019 in connection with Dussehra celebrations, most homes in Maharashtra celebrate the ten-day long festival in great religious fervor. Unfortunately, the Diwali falls on a Sunday that leaves the calendar with a single holiday for the weekend as well as for Diwali. Whatever be the thing, make the best use of holidays and plan well in advance to see that you complete your official tasks and financial transactions during the bank working days. This will help you avoid last minute disappointments. See Also: <a data-type="tilCustomLink">List of Public Holidays in Delhi in the month of October 2019</a>

Public Holidays in Maharashtra in October 2019

NAGPUR: The Maharashtra cabinet on Wednesday gave clearance to a proposal for setting up a disaster response force of its own on the lines of the <keyword id="119446" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="National-Disaster-Response-Force">National Disaster Response Force</keyword> (NDRF) set up by the <keyword id="6362177" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="union-government">Union government</keyword>. It also gave its nod for creating 428 posts for the proposed force. 
 
Every year floods, landslides, drought are annual features that affect 15 to 20 districts of the state, Last year, most of Vidarbha was hit by excessive rains, Latur in past was hit by earthquake. 
 
Instead of depending only on the NDRF's two units that are based in Talegaon Dabhade, the government feels the need to set up its own units for faster response. So two companies, each comprising three teams of 45 personnel each will be put in place. 
 The cabinet also decided to provide a financial grant of Rs221 crore to district central cooperative banks and primary cooperative agriculture credit societies in the state. While Rs131 crore will be given to DCCBs, farm credit societies will get Rs95 crore. Besides 31 DCCBs, there are 21,382 credit societies that work at village level. This capital infusion was necessitated to empower the cooperating farm <keyword id="6357455" type="EVENT" weightage="40" keywordseo="Funding">funding</keyword> network on which nearly 70% of farmers depend. The cooperative banks have been in trouble following state's decision in 2008-07 to offer farm loans at as low as 6% interest, a government note said. 
 
The Cabinet also expressed satisfaction that the monsoon had picked up well by July end and the aggregate rainfall received till now is 61% of the average for the season. Except for 10 districts, including Yavatmal, Nashik, Aurangabad where there is deficiency, other districts have received over 50% rainfall. By July 28, sowing was done in 62% of the 134 lakh hectares expected under kharif coverage.

Budget resolves to give new direction to Maharashtra: CM Shinde

<ul><li>Shiv Sena president, Uddhav Balasahed Thackeray, has been sworn-in as the 18th Chief Minster of Maharashtra.</li><li>Thackeray, 59, became the third Sena leader after Manohar Joshi and Narayan Rane to occupy the top post.</li><li>Thackeray took over as chief minister over a month after results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections were declared on October 24.</li></ul>Shiv Sena president Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray, sworn-in on Thursday as the 18th Chief Minister of Maharashtra, faces the biggest test of his life as the leader of an ideologically divergent alliance that took charge at a time of momentous political changes in the state. An ace photographer, he is the third Sena Chief Minister, after Manohar Joshi and Narayan Rane (both in 1990s), and the first member of the Thackeray family to hold the top post in the country's richest state. Thackeray, 59, otherwise considered an affable, mild- mannered politician, displayed combative traits of his father, Sena founder Bal Thackeray, in dealing with one-time senior ally BJP on the demand for rotational chief ministership just after assembly poll results were announced on October 24. He stood his ground and refused to budge on the issue of splitting the chief ministership, a stand that eventually led to the collapse of the three-decade old saffron alliance. After outmaneuvering the BJP, Thackeray will now have to prove his credentials as a leader who can navigate a new political path with ideologically different parties like the Congress and the NCP, partners in the Sena-led ruling coalition, the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Though in politics for long, Thackeray has never contested an election or held a public post and it will be interesting to watch how he learns the ropes of governance in a state which is an economic powerhouse and home to the financial capital of the country. The Sena, a party identified with Hindutva politics and "anti-Congressism" since its inception, has entered a new phase where it will have to chart out a new course under Thackeray in the changed political scenario. Born on July 27, 1960 in Mumbai, Thackeray studied at Balmohan Vidyamandir and later graduated from the JJ School of Arts, where photography was his main subject. Besides being a published author, he is also a professional photographer whose work has appeared in various magazines and has been showcased at numerous exhibitions. Thackeray largely lived in the shadows of his legendary father before coming on his own after being appointed the Sena working president in January 2003. Thackeray formally took over as the chief of the Sena, founded in 1966 to fight for the rights of Marathi people, after his father died in 2012. Known for his passion for photography, he started out in the advertising field by setting up an agency called 'Chaurang'. Thackeray specialises in aerial and wildlife photography. He has two photo books to his credit, 'Maharashtra Desh' (2010) on the forts of the state, and 'Pahava Vitthal' (2011) on the Pandharpur wari (on pilgrimage to the temple town of Pandharpur). 'Maharashtra Desh' is full of breathtaking aerial shots, providing a glimpse into the cultural fabric, physical beauty and historical perspective of this wondrous state. A few years ago, he organised an exhibition of his photographs and Rs 10 lakh collected from their sale was donated for farmer causes. Like former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, who started out in politics by helping his mother Indira Gandhi, Thackeray began assisting his father at a time when the firebrand Sena patriarch was aging and the party's sphere was expanding. He focused on strengthening the organisation and encouraged cadres to take up issues of farmers in the suicide- prone districts of rural Maharashtra. Thackeray sought to make the Sena, known for street politics and aggressive stand on issues of public interest, more acceptable to people outside its core voter base. After completing his journey from 'Matoshree', the Thackeray home in suburban Bandra, to 'Varsha', the CM residence in south Mumbai, the Sena leader will have to reinvent himself, according to political observers. He will now have to display flexibility and political acumen to deal with new-found allies and keep the coalition government going for five years, they said. "Despite being in government, the three parties are independent entities and would want to expand their respective political base," the observers said. "A political affairs committee would be needed to identify constituencies where the Sena and the Congress-NCP are in direct contest with each other and prevail upon the local leadership to work out an arrangement where political base of the three parties remains unaffected," a senior Congress leader said. While Thackeray has shown political sagacity and maturity till now, he will also have to deal with an aggressive BJP in the opposition knowing very well the former ally will try to make functioning for his government difficult, the observers said. "Uddhav will have to keep his flock of MLAs together," they said. Over 20 years ago, Thackeray was seen as a 'reluctant' politician, living a cosy life with his wife Rashmi and sons Aaditya (now an MLA) and Tejas at 'Matoshree'. But now that he has taken plunge into governance and managing a disparate coalition, a slew of challenges await Thackeray, who will be one of the most closely watched politicians in the country in these media-driven times. Since the Sena leader is currently not a legislator, he will have to get elected either to the legislative assembly or the council within six months of taking oath.
