BSE हे आपल्या देशाच्या आर्थिक सामर्थ्याचे आणि समृद्धीचे प्रतीक असून ते आपल्या मुंबईत असल्याचा अभिमान आहे. आज येथे भेट दिली व कामकाजाची माहिती घेतली. आपल्या शाळांमध्ये आर्थिक साक्षरता निर्माण करण्यासाठी विशिष्ट उपक्रम राबवण्याबाबत यावेळी @ashishchauhan जी यांच्यासह चर्चा केली. pic.twitter.com/fCXo0c7d31

"Just like guided tours of the BMC headquarters and The High Court, we are now working on a plan to have a certain amount of tourism that could visit the building and know of the glorious contribution of the BSE to our nation's wealth-building journey," Thackeray said in a tweet after a visit to the BSE.
"BSE is a place of pride, prosperity & strength for our nation & we are proud to house it in Mumbai, Maharashtra," he said.
Established in 1875, BSE is Asia's oldest stock exchange. It was formerly known as Bombay Stock Exchange. BSE's popular equity index - the S&P BSE SENSEX - is India's most widely tracked stock market benchmark index.
Thackeray said during the visit he discussed with BSE Chief Executive Officer Ashish Chauhan the possibility of initiating financial literacy classes in schools across Maharashtra.
"As I visited it today to have an insight on its working, I discussed with @ashishchauhan (Ashish Chauhan) ji the possibility of initiating financial literacy classes in schools across Maharashtra," he said.
