Maharashtra yw enw’r Dalaith y mae Mumbai a’i chyffiniau ynddi ac mae’n ardal o ddeinameg a photensial economaidd aruthrol.  Cyfarfûm â’r Prif Weinidog Mr Prithiraj Chavan (da oedd clywed mai ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe y cafodd pennaeth ei swyddfa ei addysgu).  Cefais ddweud wrth y Prif Weinidog imi fynd, prin wythnos yng nghynt, i’r Marathi Sammelan Ewropeaidd, cynulliad blynyddol o gymuned y Marathi, a gynhaliwyd yn Abertawe.  Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog bod addysg yn faes datblygu â photensial aruthrol iddo, gan gadarnhau’r hyn roeddwn wedi’i glywed eisoes.
Maharashtra is the Indian State covering Mumbai and the surrounding district and is an area of extraordinary dynamism and economic potential.  I met its Chief Minister Mr Prithiraj Chavan (whose head of office, I was pleased to learn, was educated at Swansea University).  I was able to tell the Chief Minister that, just the week before, I had attended the European Marathi Sammelan, an annual gathering of the Marathi community, held in Swansea.  The Chief Minister noted that education is a major area for potential development, substantiating views gathered elsewhere.
