[Goanet] World Goa Day
Many fathers have claimed paternity for the World Goa Day. Including Goa Sudharop since 2000 [https://www.goasudharop.net/worldgoannetwork], Rane Barretto since around the same time [ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/goans-across-the-world-gear-up-to-celebrate-20th-world-goa-day-to-reconnect-virtually/articleshow/78818144.cms] or the World Alliance of Goan Associations [ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/goans-across-the-world-gear-up-to-celebrate-20th-world-goa-day-to-reconnect-virtually/articleshow/78818144.cms] again from the mysterious year 2000. Some in the Gulf though have been saying that they've has this event since the 1980s, and maybe the idea was cut-and-pasted from them. Whatever the case, cyberspace connected Goan communities and made it happen, though it didn't end Goan factionalism. Which is they they say, if you have two Goans, you can start a party, three you can have a coup, three-and-half could create a revolution, and four you'll have three parties...
[Goanet] PRESS NOTE: Goa's #1 priority for Ministry portfolio allocation: Employment Generation
*PRESS NOTE *(March 15, 2022) *Goa's #1 priority for Ministry portfolio allocation: Employment Generation* This note is to inform the Press and Media community of Goa that our association has sent the following letter to the BJP state and national leaders with suggestions to organize certain key departments towards successful delivery on Goa’s #1 priority (ie. employment and livelihood generation) on which the performance of BJP-Goa governments of the last 10 years has been dismal thereby aggravating the sufferings of Goans and hurting aspirations of Goan youth. Left unattended in BJP-Goa’s upcoming third term this top-most priority will cost it very dearly on the political front in the times ahead. Early signs of this are already visible in the recent election results. We would much appreciate your kind support to highlight this important matter through your esteemed publications and channels so that the new government is compelled to do the right things for Goans to prosper right here in Goa. Thank you. ** Date: 14-March-2022 Subject: *Goa's #1 priority for Ministry portfolio allocation: Employment Generation* Dear state and national leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Congratulations on your performance in the recent Goa Assembly elections. It is clearly a mandate for governmental stability and locally sustainable development towards modern employment generation for Goans to prosper in Goa. With the Goa government workforce saturated, new jobs need to come from the private sector. Our beloved late *Shri Manohar-bhai Parrikar’s dreams *of reversing Goa’s brain-drain (bit.ly/3t7mNyC) as well as our *visionary Prime Minister Narendra Modiji’s revolutionary Startup India and Make in India* initiatives have seen poor progress in Goa over the last 10 years of your Goa governments. Thousands of unemployed and under-employed Goans, 8000+ young Goans graduating every year and over a lakh of Goans migrated out in recent decades for employment yearning to return back need *modern, knowledge-driven, well-paying, green industries such as IT, ITeS, Creative, Electronics and Manufacturing* in Goa. Modern employment generation is the “Day One, Priority One” for your new government! Such a critical matter requires your key ministries to be organised for efficiency as follows: 1. Employment generation related ministries/departments to be *grouped together under one minister:* *Industries, Information Technology, and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship*. 2. Minister chosen for this key portfolio needs to be strong, experienced, self-driven, open-minded, collaborative, progressive and results-oriented. 3. Avoid other peripheral department(s) in his portfolio to ensure focus and results. 4. Non-performing past ministers to be excluded from this important role. 5. For maximum acceleration, it would be ideal for the Chief Minister to lead this key portfolio in mission mode for a year before handing over to another competent minister. 6. Additionally, the *Education, Science & Technology, and Labour & Employment* departments must also be held by one such legislator to facilitate the key portfolio referred in point #1 above. Scattered organization of these crucial ministries/departments in your Goa government’s last 2 terms has led to loss of great opportunities for Goa regarding modern employment generation with egos and power tussles defeating the greater good. We hope you consider our above inputs to reverse Goa’s brain-drain ravaging our beloved homeland since the last few decades and blaze a new trail to a “Golden Goa”. Assuring you of our full support in this regard as we have always done since 2012.

Dear members of Press & Media community, (BCC intentional) As the current government's 5-year term comes to an end, we at Goa IT Professionals (GITP) evaluated the real progress it has delivered regarding creation and promotion of a vibrant Startup and IT ecosystem in Goa.

Attached is our detailed Press Release in this regard and we would be grateful for *suitable coverage of this important matter through your esteemed publication and/or channel so that the next government prioritizes a locally-sustainable Startup and IT industry in Goa* and gets the right things done on a war footing.

[Goanet] GITP PRESS RELEASE (English and Marathi): IT professionals request school managements in Goa to support SCERT in it's attempt to update ICT curriculum
* * *IT professionals request school managements to support SCERT as it updates ICT curriculum* *August 29, 2021* Given the need of the hour, the SCERT Goa, has developed a new curriculum for computer education under the CARES (Coding and Robotics Education in Schools) scheme. The curriculum has been changed after almost ten years and it is really a commendable initiative to impart modern and useful computer education to all students in the state. Computer technology is constantly evolving and teaching such a subject requires a balanced combination of advanced concepts with students' imagination and ability to relate to it. SCERT Goa is trying to outline this course and prepare an information handbook with the help of computer teachers in the state. Involving teachers from the state while preparing the content itself allows an early feedback to ensure that the students do not find it difficult to learn these concepts. GITP is appealing to all the school principals and management to properly co-operate in this endeavor. Goa is already lagging behind in computer and information technology. Information technology has benefited many industries and especially, the education sector in the current Covid period. However, we are not learning what computer technology really is and how this technology can be used by students to enhance their capabilities and skills. Due to this, the students are not using computers/smartphones effectively. The new curriculum can be useful in avoiding the ill effects of technology and giving students a way to develop their skills. Last year, The Department of Education had trained all the teachers in the state to conduct classes using online teaching methods and tools. As the training was provided to all the teachers, it is not appropriate to hold computer teachers responsible for all subject classes. A constantly evolving subject, demands continuous training of teachers. In National Education Policy 2020, the computer and technology sector has been given an important place in school education. In view of this, and in the interest of our next generation, GITP requests management of all the schools in the state to cooperate with the training and content preparation effort. ** * * नवीन संगणक शिक्षण अभ्यासक्रम तयार करण्याच्या कार्याला सहकार्य देण्याचे शाळांच्या व्यवस्थापनांना आयटी प्रोफेशनल्स कडून आवाहन *ऑगस्ट २९, २०२१* वर्तमान काळाची गरज पाहता गोवा राज्य शैक्षणिक संशोधन एवं प्रशिक्षण परिषदेने (SCERT Goa) कॅर्स (कोडींग अँड रोबोटिक्स एडुकेशन इन स्कूल्स) योजनेअंतर्गत संगणक शिक्षणाचा नवीन अभ्यासक्रम तयार केलेला आहे. जवळ जवळ दहा वर्षानंतर हा अभ्यासक्रम बदलला गेला असून शक्य तेवढे आधुनिक आणि उपयोगी संगणक शिक्षण देण्याचा हा एक चांगला आणि स्तुत्य उपक्रम आहे. संगणक तंत्रज्ञान हे सतत बदलणारे शास्त्र आहे आणि हे शास्त्र शिकवताना प्रगत गोष्टींचा आणि विद्यार्थ्यांच्या आकलन एवं कल्पनाशक्तीचा एक संतुलित मेळ साधणे गरजेचे आहे. मुलांना प्रगत गोष्टी शिकताना अडचण होऊ नये म्हणून राज्यातील संगणक शिक्षकांतर्फे ह्या अभ्यासक्रमाची रूपरेखा आणि माहिती-पुस्तिका तयार करण्याचा प्रयत्न SCERT Goa करत आहे. ह्या प्रयत्नाला योग्य प्रकारे शाळांच्या मुख्याध्यापक/मुख्याध्यापिका आणि व्यवस्थापनाने सहकार्य करावे असे आवाहन GITP तर्फे करण्यात येत आहे. संगणक आणि माहिती तंत्रज्ञान क्षेत्रात गोवा मागे पडत आहे. सध्याच्या कोविड काळात माहिती तंत्रज्ञानामुळे कित्येक उद्योग आणि शिक्षण क्षेत्राला खूप फायदा झालेला आहे. हे सगळे होत असताना संगणक तंत्रज्ञान म्हणजे काय आणि हे तंत्रज्ञान कशाप्रकारे विध्यार्थी आपल्या ज्ञानात आणि कौशल्यात भर देण्यासाठी वापरता येऊ शकते ह्याचे शिक्षण आपल्याला मिळत नाही. त्यामुळे मुलं संगणक/स्मार्टफोन चा योग्य वापर करत नाहीत. तंत्रज्ञानाचा दुष्परिणाम टाळण्यासाठी आणि मुलांचा कौशल्य विकास घडवण्यासाठी नवीन अभ्यासक्रम उपयुक्त ठरू शकतो. गोवा शिक्षण व्यवस्थापनाने गेल्या वर्षी सर्व शिक्षकांना ऑनलाईन शिक्षण पद्धतीचे प्रशिक्षण दिले होते. असे असताना सगळ्या विषयांच्या वर्गासाठी संगणक शिक्षकांना वेठीस धरणे योग्य नाही. संगणक तंत्रज्ञान हे सतत बदलणारे असल्यामुळे त्यासाठी शिक्षकांना सतत प्रशिक्षण देणे गरजेचे आहे. NEP २०२० मध्ये संगणक आणि तंत्रज्ञान क्षेत्राला शालेय शिक्षणात महत्वाचे स्थान दिलेले आहे. ते पाहता, संगणक शिक्षकांना योग्य ते प्रशिक्षण मिळण्यासाठी शाळा व्यवस्थापनांनी योग्य ते सहकार्य करावे अशी GITP ची मागणी आहे. ** Regards, *Goa IT Professionals – GITP *| www.goaitpro.org | goa...@gmail.com *Important links: About GITP <http://www.goaitpro.org/gitp> | GITP on Social Network <http://www.goaitpro.org/follow-us/> | GITP Core Team <http://www.goaitpro.org/our-team> | *Goa Skills Registry - GSR <http://skills.goaitpro.org/> | Project GEIT <https://www.facebook.com/GoansEmpoweredWithIT/>
[Goanet] (no subject)
Goa - a global music hub!Musicians from every corner of the world have been landing up and performing in Goa ever since a paradise called Goa was discovered on planet Earth. Many of them choose to leave their luxurious lifestyles back home to enjoy the simple ‘susegaad’ lifestyle that Goa is known for. The people’s warmth and hospitality radiates even brighter than the Sun. Goa is a tourist destination not just for it’s beaches and scenic beauty, it is a live music haven too. Hundreds of live music venues dot every tourist belt across Goa. If a census is done, Goa may emerge as a place with the most live music venues in the world. Small wonder then, why so many musicians from all over the world choose to make Goa their second home, some of them even setting up a permanent home in Goa. Having international musicians perform alongside local artistes has raised the entertainment bar in Goa, often resulting in world-class acts at even low profile venues. One great place to actually be a part of this global melting pot is the seasonal Saturday Night Market at Arpora. Thousands of local and international visitors are entertained by a series of acts that change by the hour. A big stage/sound/light set-up keeps every performer in the spotlight. What started as a small flea market evolved into a mind boggling event with thousands of stalls catering to the whole world actually. Goa has always been all about the ‘vibe’. You feel it loud and clear at places like the Saturday Night Market. Jazz Goa is a platform for visiting artistes, having recorded and hosted shows for many of them. The music produced in collaboration with local artistes meets international standards. It is available to be enjoyed by all through the Jazz Goa app that can be downloaded for free at www.jazzgoa.com

[Goanet] Goa@60 should be better prepared
To: Goa Govt BCC: Members of Press Dear officials of Govt of Goa, While the disasters are fresh in our mind, it is essential that the government plans for such events that are now becoming frequent. In this regard, Goa IT Professionals, the consortium representing the IT workforce of Goa, would like to make the following suggestions. GITP, also agrees to offer our pro-bono services in the technical evaluation of these suggestions. *1. Underground cabling of electricity and Fibre cables across the state with Geospatial database to record the layout* Cyclones have become a regular phenomenon. For least impact on life and business, it is essential to ensure that there is no power and internet outage during such events. A well planned project to transfer all overhead cables underground is the need of the hour. The cabling layout needs to be recorded in a geospatial database so that technicians have a ready reference of the underground assets when needed. Also, the layout needs to be made available to all road contractors so that there is no unintended damage. *2. Implementation of comprehensive statewide hospital management system* During a sickness in the family, the patient should not be made to run from pillar to post and make umpteen calls on always busy helplines searching for a hospital bed. All information should be available at the fingertips of citizens in real time. Health records of patients should be available to doctors digitally. We request DHS to set up a state-wide Hospital Management System so that details of every patient are recorded and the patient should get a paperless experience. With current technology this is certainly possible with several established software vendors offering this service. *3. Diversify the industry Goa relies on and focus on Software, ESDM and Manufacturing* The primary industry in Goa is still Tourism. We have already seen that, in order to keep the economy alive, the government was constrained in applying stringent measures in the state. It is now necessary to look beyond tourism and focus on IT, ESDM and Manufacturing which have been highly resilient in continuing their business in the pandemic. 60 years after liberation, let us put up a progressive face of Goa. We reiterate that we can set up a task force of professionals to guide the government in implementing the above recommendations.

[Goanet] The Museum of Christian Art (MoCA) Old Goa reopens
The Museum of Christian (MoCA), Old Goa, reopened its doors to visitors on 23rd January 2021, which also marked the 27th Anniversary of the Museum. The Museum was reopened by His Grace the Archbishop of Goa and Daman, Filipe Neri Ferrao, in the presence of the members of the Managing Committee and the Museum staff. Work on the exciting and ambitious upgradation project prepared and executed jointly by MoCA and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Portugal) which commenced in 2017 was in its final stage early last year when it had to be abruptly stopped due to the pandemic. In the meanwhile, it was decided to reopen some sections of the Museum to the public early this year. A formal reopening with the complete installation will take place at a later date. The Museum will be open on all days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All social distancing protocols as prescribed by the authorities will be followed at the Museum.

[Goanet] Jazz Goa's Global Christmas Carol
Jazz Goa's Global Christmas Carol Jazz Goa's Global Christmas Carol project initiated by music producer and bass player Colin D'Cruz, began as an idea to get a few singers together to create some Christmas harmony.A traditional Christmas Carol called 'Angels we have heard on high' was chosen as the platform, with many singers joining in at each of the four choruses.Colin put out a flyer on social media inviting singers to join in and he was completely overwhelmed with the response. What started as a choral rendition by a few singers snowballed into a huge global ensemble with over a hundred singers joining in.From four year old Nealle Monteiro to eighty three year old Francis Lobo, the whole hearted contribution from so many amateur as well as highly accomplished singers has given this tiny initiative a global voice. It is heartening to see so many singers of different religious faith pitching in too, like Goa's well known bollywood singers Akshada Talaulikar and Rupa Rao.Some of the internationally renowned singers are Laura Fernandez from Canada, Carol Gomez from Singapore and An Vedi from Russia. So many highly accomplished singers agreed to stand back and play second fiddle, joining in only at the chorus understanding the spirit behind this project. The three verse are sung solo by Diana D'Cruz, Lulu Fortes and Sonia Shirsat. This rendition begins with a lone acapella voice with singers gradually joining in until it reaches a huge crecendo featuring over a hundred global voices. Watch out for the premiere on Jazz Goa's youtube channel on 15th November at 8pm IST.
[Goanet] GITP PRESS RELEASE: IT professionals condemn Goa govt. failure to renew lapsed Startup Policy
* * *IT professionals condemn Goa govt. failure to renew lapsed Startup Policy* *November 12, 2020* Goa Startup Policy 2017 expired on September 26, 2020. According to Startup Promotion Cell (SPC), 100 startups have been certified in the last 3 years under the Goa Startup Policy 2017. Each of these startups employ 6 to 15 people on an average. All the startups who have taken benefits under the policy, their employees and families dependent on them are facing the brunt of this policy lapse. All the Startup Policy financial incentives are in the form of grants and reimbursements which are rolled back into the economy through employee salaries, bill payments etc. All these indirect beneficiaries are also being affected in the process. Eligible startups seeking promised benefits under the policy are being presented with excuses galore. They are being told that SPC is not processing any applications as they are awaiting policy extension. It is further claimed that the Finance department has taken away SPC funds citing COVID emergency and is not releasing the required funds amounting to less than Rs.3 crores despite follow-ups by SPC and IT Minister. IT professionals who have dared to take up the tough challenge of being employment creators rather than employment seekers, with a hope that the Startup Policy will provide some initial support during the teething phases are left high and dry. When it comes to processing Startups requests complaints have surfaced time and again that the processing happens at snail’s pace at the SPC. The IT department which is expected to be a torch bearer of automation and efficiency, and has a self-declared SLA of 45 days to review and approve or reject applications has been taking upto 6 months to do it even before and during COVID. It is understandable that the process of initial registration-related verification of a Startup can take time due to manual interventions. But what stops the SPC from being punctual on, if not completely automating, the release of subsequent tranches of benefits and incentives? At least in these taxing Pandemic times when Startups are reeling under extreme financial and work pressures, a proactive approach was expected. But somehow no respite seems to be coming. It appears as though this ‘lapse of Startup Policy’ has become a convenient excuse for SPC to hide its inefficiencies if not incompetence. Was the SPC and IT department unaware in advance that the policy was expiring on September 26th and that the new policy would be delayed? If it was not possible to release the benefits without an active policy, why were interim measures not taken to extend the policy timeframe or take some other relevant mitigation measures? Validity of several govt. documents, licenses, registrations etc. related to transport, construction etc. have been extended by govt. due to COVID. The same approach could have very well been adopted in case of the Startup Policy renewal. Why was it not done? Goa Government which is ‘over efficient’ when it comes to granting extensions to Casinos, dot on the eve of the lapse of their permit/license, every six months, even during these pandemic times, seems to be just indifferent to the lapse of the Startup Policy. Does this imply that a handful of casinos who are into gambling activity are much more valuable to the government as compared to hundreds of Startup firms who are toiling hard to create a decent livelihood option for themselves and hundreds of Goans here in Goa? The government has even been prompt enough to give a waiver to the Casino industry on the Rs. 277 crores annual fees allowing it to be paid on a monthly basis instead. Is the ongoing ‘financial crunch’ excuse of our government applicable only for the Startups and not the Casino industry? Or is our government keen to promote a culture of Casino gambling and affiliated sin industries in Goa rather than the modern, progressive, innovation and merit driven Startup and IT industries for our youth to have respectable livelihoods in Goa? What is our government's priority? Are "Atmanirbhar Bharat", "Swayampurna Goem", "Startups are job creators". "Startups innovate", "Startups are aspirations of youth" etc. just for sloganeering and juicy jargon tweets for shallow publicity? Will the Goa Startup Policy 2020, which is supposedly taking a consultative and participatory approach by taking all stakeholders on board, arrive only after all the existing startups suffer irreparable damage due to chronic apathy of the SPC and IT Department? Our Goa government, IT department and SPC need to ponder on these questions and get their act together on a war footing without any further excuses, for the IT and Startup industry stakeholders and their educated employees themselves are driven by timebound performance – making India a global IT powerhouse over the decades – and can clearly see through these bluffs and lame excuse unlike the mass

[Goanet] Fwd: Improving Goa's Ease of Doing Business
Dear members of the press, Kindly take note of GITP's message to the Govt of Goa. Regards, *Goa IT Professionals – GITP *| www.goaitpro.org | goa...@gmail.com *Important links: About GITP <http://www.goaitpro.org/gitp> | GITP on Social Network <http://www.goaitpro.org/follow-us/> | GITP Core Team <http://www.goaitpro.org/our-team> | *Goa Skills Registry - GSR <http://skills.goaitpro.org/> | Project GEIT <https://www.facebook.com/GoansEmpoweredWithIT/> -- Forwarded message - From: Goa IT Professionals - GITP Date: Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 5:14 PM Subject: Improving Goa's Ease of Doing Business To: cm goa , cmo goa , Jennifer Monserrate < jennifermonserra...@gmail.com>, dir-indu goa , Goa Director DoIT , , Vishwajit Rane , , CEO IPB < ceo-ipb@nic.in>, Chief Secretary - Goa Cc: Shripad Naik , Vinay Tendulkar < vinaytendulka...@gmail.com>, gitp_core Dear public representatives and officials of Goa Govt., As per media reports the Goa government is in the process of reviewing the implementation of the Business Reform Action Plan (BRAP) 2020 and is in the process of collating data and inputs about their ease of doing business (EODB) action points from various departments. We at GITP would like to submit to the government a slew of measures for creating a healthy environment in the state to boost existing businesses, attract businesses from across the globe and also give confidence to local youth to turn to entrepreneurship. These measures, if implemented in letter and spirit will help boost EoDB ranking and also help further Goa government’s vision of Swayampurna Gaon, Sampanna Goem. We urge the government to implement these measures, with a stern hand if the need be, to help entrepreneurs and businesses operate effectively in Goa and in turn help the economic revival of the state post Covid crisis. Eliminate Ministerial involvement Eliminate the practice of obtaining approvals from ministers and chairpersons for investment proposals. It has been proved time and again that this centralisation of the otherwise decentralised file movement process is a major bottleneck. Despite having the highest per capita number of government employees, if Goa shows such a dismal performance, it is clear that we need to fix the bottlenecks in the processes being followed. Single Window The hassle free Single Window System and not yet another window added to the umpteen permission windows should be put in place ASAP. The system should have 100% online interaction. All instructions regarding expectations of the government in terms of certificates/permissions/NoCs/ Plans /licenses etc should be described on the website so that there is minimal back and forth interaction between government and the applicant. Simplified workflows Provide Simplified WorkFlows(SWF) to ensure that irrelevant departments and their approvals are eliminated. Deemed Approval All approvals have to be time-bound and the system should provide a deemed approval if it is not acted upon within the allocated timeframe. This should also result in a financial penalty on the concerned officer for dereliction of duty. It was promised during Vibrant Goa to provide approvals within 30 days. Almost a year later, this concept does not seem to have moved beyond paper. Using Services of consultant to tap industries with expansion/shifting plans Ernst & Young who has been taken on board by the Goa Government can also be asked to suggest a policy framework to attract industries that are planning to move out or expand from other states and countries especially from China. Develop power infrastructure and facilitate tapping alternate sources of renewable energy Blessed with renewable energy sources in abundance, Goa is rightly placed to serve as a model for generating solar, tidal and wind energy. This is the right time for the govt to make these efforts in association with the center and with international agencies to set up such plants in Goa. The Govt needs to widely publicize and enforce the rooftop solar power generation scheme and ensure that the promised benefits reach the beneficiaries in the stipulated time frame. This will help motivate many more to take up such initiatives. Technical Education geared towards creating industry ready manpower Industry looks for productivity from the hired candidates. The quality of graduates and their industry-readiness needs to be improved by setting up an Industry-Academics partnership so that the years of graduation are utilized most optimally and students are made aware of industrial best practices. This will eventually reduce the costs borne by industry in training the new hires. E-Governance The time is ripe for using and fine tuning E-Governance systems. Robust E-Governance systems will enable Govt employees to work from anywhere, streamlining the governance processes and ensure that hurdles are minimised in meeting permission

[Goanet] Fwd: Goa Govt. should set financial priorities right

Entrepreneurs and businesses in the state are reeling under extreme pressures to survive through the pandemic induced slags. Lack of basic infrastructure like connectivity and power is making matters worse for technology dependent businesses. Goa continues to rank behind in Ease of Doing Business for lack of a single-window system. Academic systems in the state are on the verge of crumbling down as the state, despite being one of the early starters in setting up IT and connectivity infrastructures and spending crores on doing it, has failed miserably to provide a viable online alternative to physical teaching and learning systems. Industries are closing down or retrenching staff. Tourism sector and all other allied industries have taken a big hit. Roads and transport systems in the state are in very bad shape. Common man is struggling to survive the Pandemic and is desperately looking for alternatives. On this backdrop, the least that can be expected from the government is judicious spending of the exchequer's money by setting the priorities right. Certainly the government is aware of these issues that have been aptly highlighted in the media. Hard earned money of citizens, paid as taxes cannot be washed away for luxuries, extravaganza, miscellaneous and non-priority infrastructure. We sincerely urge the government to instead invest the money in the future of Goa by improving connectivity in the state and setting up the long overdue single-window system for investment so that we see jobs being created and people earning a respectable living.

[Goanet] Fwd: GITP PRESS RELEASE: GITP urges Pramod Sawant to prioritize solution to Internet and Power issues
** *GITP urges Pramod Sawant to prioritize solution to Internet and Power issues* Goa IT Professionals (GITP) group has demanded that the Goa government take up urgent measures on war footing to find solutions to the connectivity and power woes of the IT industry in the state. With Corona Pandemic triggered economic upheavals across the globe the local IT industry is also badly hit like all other Industries. Goan IT Industries efforts to come up from the slump by using the tried and tested ‘work from home’ and ‘IT anywhere’ concepts are badly hampered due to poor internet connectivity and power outages. With the rising number of Covid Positive cases in the state, disruption in transport facilities, Covid infection fear, restrictions imposed on travel etc are making it difficult for employees to travel from homes to their places of work. This is creating severe problems in terms of meeting project deadlines whereby affecting the functioning of most IT businesses in the state. If good internet connectivity is made available across Goa at reasonable rates it will help facilitate effective functioning of the local IT industry as employees can work from their home which could be located in any corner of the state. Goa has a significant number of private ISP providers, but their primary focus are the urban areas with high population density where they can offer connections in close proximity without investing much in additional infrastructure like cable laying. Even the Goa BroadBand Network(GBBN), the PPP project in which the state government has pumped in crores of rupees has not been able to provide any solace to the industry in these difficult times. Especially in the rural area ISPs turn down customer applications due to high cost of last mile connectivity and in turn Goans are losing employment, business and education opportunities. ISP’s are asking customers to pay upfront installation charges which can vary anywhere between Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000 for the fiber laying .People simply cannot afford this kind of installation charges. If the government can help in putting this basic infrastructure in place, the IT Industry can make the best of it and can also contribute substantially by providing much needed impetus to the economic revival of the state. With little hand holding and planning on part of the govt this green industry has the potential to generate substantial amounts of employment and can help the state make best use of the Human Resource that is returning homewards from across the globe due to the pandemic triggered repatriation. Another domain that is struggling badly due to poor connectivity and power supply is the field of education. With closure of academic institutions, E-learning is set to become the new normal. While students from cities have already started with their E-classes , students and academic institutions in the villages are still grappling in the dark. Only if the government takes up some urgent measures to find a solution to the connectivity problem will it be possible to save the academic year for thousands of students on the wrong side of the digital divide. One important question GITP wants to ask the government is, what are the rules of this PPP partnership with Gwave, that it will only provide connections in urban areas, which already have 2-3 service providers and great mobile coverage, and asks rural consumers to pay upfront 30-40 thousand rupees for fiber installation? Is the GBBN only created for urban areas? Wasn't the motive of GBBN Rural Connectivity? Is GBBN a failure or will the government work with the franchisees to prioritize Rural last mile Internet Connectivity during this pandemic? Also How should students and teachers manage in rural areas regarding online education? Or Rural students should be left uneducated due to Govt's failed network connectivity policies? In a recent conversation with the industry CM Sawant has suggested that employees working from home should shift to the local panchayat and commence working from there. A month has passed since this announcement but nothing substantial has happened in terms of giving a feasible form to this verbal suggestion. IT Park, Single window system for Industry, employment generation promises to youth, GBBN, garbage treatment, Govt offices providing online services, Goa as an education hub, and many more continue to remain as a promises galore. We want the government to come clear on its position on fixing these long pending issues. *<**ENGLISH PRESS NOTE END>* ** *वीज आणि इंटरनेटचे दीर्घकालीन प्रश्न सोडविण्यासाठी जीआयटीपीचे मुख्यमंत्र्यांना साकडे.* गोवा आयटी प्रोफेशनल्स (जीआयटीपी) गटाने राज्यातील आयटी उद्योगातील इंटरनेट आणि वीज समस्येवर तोडगा काढण्यासाठी युद्धपातळीवर तातडीने उपाययोजना करण्याची मागणी मुख्यमंत्र्यांकडे केली आहे. कोरोना साथीचा सर्व देशभरात उद्रेक झाल्यामुळे स्थानिक आयटी उद्योगही प्रभावित झाला आहे. गोव्यातील आयटी उद्योगाने खराब इंटरनेट कनेक्टिव्हिटी आणि तुटक वीज पुरवठ्

[Goanet] Fwd: Way forward for IT industry in Goa
Dear members of press, Kindly take note of the email sent by GITP to the Goa Govt. Regards, *Goa IT Professionals – GITP *| www.goaitpro.org | goa...@gmail.com *Important links: About GITP <http://www.goaitpro.org/gitp> | GITP on Social Network <http://www.goaitpro.org/follow-us/> | GITP Core Team <http://www.goaitpro.org/our-team> | *Goa Skills Registry - GSR <http://skills.goaitpro.org/> | Project GEIT <https://www.facebook.com/GoansEmpoweredWithIT/> -- Forwarded message - From: Goa IT Professionals - GITP Date: Sat, Jul 20, 2019 at 6:04 PM Subject: Way forward for IT industry in Goa To: , cm goa Cc: CEO IPB , Jennifer Monserrate < jennifermonserra...@gmail.com>, Rohan Khaunte , Goa Director DoIT , Managing Director - Infotech Corp of Goa < m...@infotechgoa.com>, IT Secretary , gitp_core < gitp_c...@googlegroups.com> To: Hon. CM CC: IT Minister, CEO of IPB, Officials of IT Dept Respected Chief Minister, GITP believes that the political and administrative churn should not be allowed to impact the larger cause of developing Goa as an IT destination and retaining Goa's educated manpower in the state. IT being a mass job creator, the IT ministry and its projects should be treated with the highest levels or urgency. We are committed to work with the new IT minister and provide our inputs towards the success of IT sector in Goa. We also urge the new minister to maintain continuity and achieve improvement in the pace set by the IT department, in terms of developing a vibrant startup ecosystem. As immediate areas that need attention: · The IT parks should be fast-tracked so that we see new companies investing in Goa and job opportunities generated. · The ESDM cluster needs to be put in motion from its long slumber since the time it was commissioned by the Hon. Prime Minister. · Single Window system should be implemented in letter, and spirit to ensure that hardships faced by startups at various stages including registration needs to be removed and the process needs to be simplified. · Mid-sized IT companies should be invited to Goa for initiating their setups regardless of the IT parks. · Mechanism must be put in place to ensure that the benefits under IT Policy, IT Investment Policy and Startup Policy reach the eligible beneficiaries at the earliest. · IT infrastructure in schools and colleges should be upgraded using funds from the center. Request to take the existing IT policies ahead based on the above points rather than building it again from the scratch. GITP would also place on record our appreciation for the consistent efforts put in by the IT department under the leadership of Mr. Rohan Khaunte as the IT minister. He has been instrumental in bringing several key initiatives into the sector and catering to several long pending demands of the IT Industry. The former Chief Minister Late Mr. Manohar Parrikar had involved the Tech Community in setting the direction for the industry. During a meeting of the task force, he had categorically stated that the next five years should take Goa twenty five years forward in the IT sector. Realizing his vision and taking significant steps in that direction will be the greatest tribute to Mr. Parrikar.

[Goanet] Film for Thought: 5th June 2019, 6.30 pm - Screening of `The Place Beyond the Pines' at Sunaparanta
Film Club members kindly note, there will be no film screening at Sunaparanta tomorrow. However, Arvind Sivakumaran will host the screening of the film 'The Place Beyond the Pines' next week, Wednesday, 5th June 2019 at 6.30 pm, at the indoor gallery. Film: The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) Written & Directed by: Derek Cianfrance Cast: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Mahershala Ali, Dane DeHaan, Ray Liotta, Ben Mendelsohn, Rose Byrne Duration: 2 hrs 18 mins "I believe in ancestry and legacy and how things don't go away"- Cianfrance This under-rated and ambitious thriller-drama about the cycle of inherited poverty and privilege is uniquely structured, deeply moving and features some of the best performances of future stars Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper. A harsh indictment of the 'mythical' American dream, Cianfrance examines the great disparity between the poor whose lack of options ensures their constant struggle for survival and the white elites whose privilege never leaves them. The film also poses these important questions- Who are the real criminals? What's the difference between lawbreakers and its upholders? Does privilege ever go away or is it simply passed on from generation to generation?

[Goanet] Film for Thought: 17th April 2019, 6.30 pm - Screening of `The Big Sleep' at Sunaparanta
This Wednesday, 17th April 2019 at 6.30 pm, Sunaparanta will host the screening of 'The Big Sleep' at Sunaparanta indoor gallery, presented by Arvind Sivakumaran Film: The Big Sleep (1946) Directed by: Howard Hawks Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Martha Vickers, Dorothy Malone, Elisha Cook Jr. Run-Time: 1 hr 54 mins Howard Hawks often said 'A good movie is three good scenes and no bad scenes' and this classic noir- mystery is the finest illustration of his theory. It is also arguably the most enjoyable film that almost no one completely understands. The labyrinthine plot was too confusing for even the writer of the novel on which it was based and Raymond Chandler when questioned about a plot point famously replied "Dammit, I don't know either!" No one seems to care. What audiences enjoy even today is the crackling, pulpy fast-paced dialogue, the incomparable chemistry between Bogart and Bacall and the moody Chandlerian world where women are beautiful, duplicitous, always available and more dangerous than the guns the hoodlums carry around like handkerchiefs.
