I came accross an article on NT dated 6th October on the above subject written by Mr. Ramnath N Pai Raikar.
A great article to read but i would like to make a mention of some facts. As i was reading his article i came accross the following Paragraph"Interestingly, the statistics with the office of the Commissioner for NRI Affairs, Goa further states that the migration of high-skilled professionals, doctors, engineers, IT professionals and those in other knowledge economy sectors has been mostly to North America. At many Global Goan Conventions i have attended where the NRI office is well represented i was privileged to have been given an opportunity to speak my mind and i did mention the Goans overseas are ready to relocate back to Goa subject to the asurance from the Goa Government that Goans will be supported in every way on their investments and one of them is Information Technology ,i did mention that should Goan's invest in ICT in Goa ,the Government should give opportunites to these companies with some Projects in Computerization in different sectors ...why would someone leave a promising Job overseas and then invest in Goa when computerization projects are not being done by any Goan Company ..(i stand corrected) I would be pleased to read if any Goan IT company is implementing any major or even minor project of computerization of any department or Ministry in Goa. My requests to have the assurance from Goa Government to support Goan IT Companies who want to start something new and provide employemnt to many unemployed Goans who are bright but not being given an opportunity to explore fell on deaf years, More than being emotional or passionate about Goa we need to be real and address the factual aspect of it more than mere verbal ..many a times we impress readers with what one feels about a subject from one side of the coin and it is worth reading but if you read not between but through the lines the information may not be accurate . I would still stress through this forum /Goanet , how many IT projects to be implemented in Goa is on the Goa ICT stragtegy Plan , does Goa have an ICT strategy Plan ?Is it a Public document if so can i please have a copy of the same ..i would like to take it up from here and let me see how best i can get the support . Regards Vivek
