Remaining 7,000 villages will also soon acquire the 'water neutral' status, Fadnavis said.
Fadnavis and his Madhya Pradesh counterpart Shivraj Singh Chouhan today inaugurated a national conclave on 'Good Governance through people's participation' at Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini at Uttan near here.
"Good governance with people's participation and ethical business is the need of the hour. It will help the state to move ahead towards total transformation and uplift of people," Fadnavis said.
Chouhan said his government's initiative 'Ladli-Laxmi' for promotion of education of girls was modified after discussions with people and it became one of the most successful schemes of the state.
People's participation helped frame programmes which were empowering the people of the state, he said.
