Fadnavis inaugurated the Lokmanya Mahotsav organised by the Directorate of Cultural Affairs.
The Mahotsav is organised as a part of the centenary year celebrations of Tilak's famous slogan 'Swaraj is my birthright'.
The CM also released an information booklet on the Mahotsav and appealed to practice the teachings of Tilak.
"Swarajya slogan had a huge impact on people's mind and changed the thought of defeat... Now its high time that we convert Swarajya into Surajya," Fadnavis said.
"We all must understand and always act keeping in mind our role that's needed for Surajya," he said, while declaring this year as 'Surajya Varsh'.
