Sawant said that 35 per cent of state’s economy is dependent on industrial sector, but there has been lull in the investment due to various reasons. “We have decided to attract more investment through state run Investment Promotion Board (IPB) so that newer employment opportunities are created,” he said.

The chief minister, who also holds Education Portfolio, said that “few courses in Goa University needs to be revisited as they have stopped providing vertical mobility to the students.”

“By next academic year, we need to change such courses which does not give verticle mobility to the students,” he said adding that “skill development would be given a priority so that the students become employable in various sectors.”
