“In terms of IT and technology, Goa is being looked at as preferred destination. We have an ambitious plan of being in preferred 25 as far as Asia is concerned for IT and start up fraternity and for this ambitious plan we have kept a target of the year 2025,” the minister said.
Khaunte said that the State government has been working overtime since last two years to encourage IT and Start ups.
“We have already introduced IT in our day to day governance to bring in more transparency and less harassment to the common citizens,” he said.
Khaunte said that the state government has been working on Start up and IT policies which will give direction to these sectors in the state.
Every city which got into IT startup got everything messed up. Infrastructure, people, cost of living, etc etc. Why do you want to destroy the Green Goa? Just let it be as a iconic tourist destination.
