PANAJI: Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant said that Goa should emerge as the innovation capital of India, urging young people to focus on creativity and new ideas that can drive the state’s future growth.
Addressing a gathering, the Chief Minister encouraged youth to move beyond traditional employment goals and work towards becoming job creators and innovators.
He said young people should develop new ideas and solutions that contribute to the state’s development, emphasizing that they should not remain only job seekers but also become entrepreneurs and innovators.
Dr Sawant said the world today is being shaped by artificial intelligence, automation, deep technology and space technology, which are no longer concepts of the future but a present-day reality.
Highlighting India’s demographic strength, he noted that more than 65 per cent of the country’s population is below the age of 35, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often described Yuva Shakti as the nation’s greatest strength.
The Chief Minister urged Gen Z and Gen Alpha to make the best use of their digital skills and innovative mindset, stating that these abilities would be their biggest advantage in the rapidly evolving technological era.
He said Goa has the potential to become a hub of innovation if young people actively participate in building new technologies and solutions.
