GOANS SHOULD FACE CHALLENGES WITH CONFIDENCE AND COMMITMENT
by
Eduardo Faleiro
December 19 commemorates the end of the colonial rule in Goa. The freedom
struggle
was not merely for political freedom but also for social and economic change
and for
a life of peace and dignity to all. It opened the portals of opportunity
particularly to the vast mass of people who were denied upward mobility over
the
centuries and perhaps the millenia.
Great strides have been made in core sectors such as Education. In 1961, the
literacy rate here was 30%. Goa is now a fully literate State if we exclude
some
persons above the age of 50 and a section of migrant labour.
