Devendra Fadnavis and Tiger Shroff Kick-Start Maharashtra's 'Maha-Deva' Football Revolution
18 Nov
Summary
- Maharashtra government partners with MITRA to advance 'Maha-Deva' football initiative
- Program focuses on upgrading infrastructure, training, and talent identification in schools
- Actor Tiger Shroff attends MoU signing to show support and boost youth appeal
In October 2025, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis presided over the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the state's School Education & Sports Department and the Maharashtra Institution for Transformation (MITRA). The agreement was part of the government's ongoing 'Maha-Deva' football initiative, which focuses on advancing the sport at the grassroots level across the state.
To show his support for the program, popular Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff attended the MoU signing event. Shroff's presence is expected to boost the initiative's youth appeal and athletic credibility, as the 'Maha-Deva' program emphasizes discipline, participation, and structured skill development among young students.
Through this collaboration, the Maharashtra government continues to build a more robust football ecosystem in the state. The initiative aims to upgrade sports infrastructure, improve training systems, and identify promising young talent in schools. By partnering with public figures like Tiger Shroff, the state hopes to further motivate and inspire the next generation of football players.
