MUMBAI: 'Today, it's not capital but human potential that is the true asset. Industries thrive where there is a skilled workforce, research, and innovation. Hence, creating a quality, multi-skilled workforce is essential. Human resource development is, therefore, the most valuable investment,' said chief minister Devendra Fadnavis . He was speaking at the inauguration of the new buildings of Mukesh Patel School of Technology Management and Engineering and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), as well as the groundbreaking ceremony of the new educational complex of SVKM at Vile Parle.

Shops, businesses and around 600 private and grant-in-aid schools remained shut till afternoon following an appeal by the Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
