PANAJI: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said that while both the State and Central governments are actively promoting entrepreneurship and extending support to businesses, many Goan youths continue to remain complacent, allowing outsiders to dominate the state’s business landscape.
Addressing a gathering, Sawant remarked that “outsiders have made Goa their Dubai” due to the lack of initiative among local youth in taking up entrepreneurial ventures. He stressed that instead of depending solely on jobs, young people in Goa should develop the mindset of starting their own businesses.
The Chief Minister said several schemes and support systems are being implemented by the government to encourage entrepreneurship and self-employment. He urged the youth to take advantage of these opportunities and become job creators rather than job seekers.
Sawant further said that Goa has immense potential for growth in sectors such as tourism, hospitality, services and startups, and local youth should come forward to tap these opportunities and strengthen the state’s economy.
