People who visit Goa on holiday appear to need rooms to stay in but don't ever eat! As a result there is a great need to build only more and more rooms, more hotels. But what about food?
Well, it can come from outside as Goa's agricultural land has to be sold to builders or it would appear from the government's land use policy. As shocking as it is true, Goa cannot boast of an agriculture college when this sector can provide employment on a large scale if it is given its due importance and support, such as, exclusive markets for farmers. But when even the CM is sympathetic to the building lobby and anti- agriculture, then there is little hope. Is he thinking of building an agriculture college after all the agricultural land has been sold? Maybe. With three schools moving out of Panaji (as reported in the media) why can't these buildings be used to start an agriculture college as it is well located and would be ideal for everyone in Goa. Now is the time to demand an agriculture college or are we going to see a scenario where these three buildings are going to be demolished and then replaced by hi-rise parking? I can only hope not!
