PM Modi Ushers in a New Era for Goa with ₹1,330 Crore Development Push- In a significant boost to Goa's development trajectory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a slew of projects worth over ₹1,330 crore during his visit to the state on February 6th, 2024. This initiative, christened "Viksit Bharat, Viksit Goa 2047," signifies the government's commitment to propelling the state towards a prosperous and sustainable future.

Education at the Forefront:

The cornerstone of the program lies in the inauguration of the permanent campus of the National Institute of Technology Goa. This state-of-the-art facility, equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure and amenities, promises to nurture future generations of skilled professionals, empowering them to contribute to the state's economic growth. Additionally, the dedication of the new National Institute of Watersports campus underscores the government's focus on promoting water-based activities and fostering a culture of water safety.

Boosting Infrastructure and Sustainability:

Recognizing the crucial role of infrastructure in bolstering development, the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for a Passenger Ropeway connecting Panaji and Reis Magos. This eco-friendly transportation system not only promises to decongest roads but also serves as a major tourist attraction. Furthermore, the foundation stone for a 100 MLD Water Treatment Plant in South Goa addresses the critical need for clean and adequate water supply, ensuring the well-being of the local population. Additionally, the inauguration of a 100 TPD Integrated Waste Management Facility marks a significant step towards sustainable waste management practices in the state.

Empowering the Youth and Uplifting the Vulnerable:

Beyond infrastructure, the initiative prioritizes human capital development. Under the Rozgar Mela, Prime Minister Modi distributed appointment orders to 1,930 new government recruits, injecting fresh energy into various departments and creating employment opportunities. Moreover, the distribution of sanction letters to beneficiaries of various welfare schemes demonstrates the government's commitment to empowering marginalized sections of society and ensuring inclusive growth.

A Vision for a Vibrant Goa:

Prime Minister Modi's visit to Goa signifies a renewed focus on the state's holistic development. By investing in education, infrastructure, sustainability, and social welfare, the "Viksit Bharat, Viksit Goa 2047" program lays a strong foundation for a brighter future. This initiative is expected to create new opportunities, improve living standards, and propel Goa towards a more prosperous and inclusive future.

Looking Ahead:

The success of this ambitious program hinges on its effective implementation and the active participation of all stakeholders. With continued focus, collaboration, and community engagement, "Viksit Bharat, Viksit Goa 2047" has the potential to transform Goa into a model state, not just for India but for the world.
