Forts are built for the purpose of empire establishment, to sustain and expand it. Shivaji gave immense importance for constructing forts where he built 111 forts within 35 years.

If a fort is built in a region, it influences the lives of the people residing up to a radius of 60 km from the fort.

This brings employment to the people, growth in market, and security to the people.
