Sankhali, June 8

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant holds Janta Darbar on June 8 in Sankhali, providing a platform for citizens to express their grievances and concerns directly to the government.

This event is part of a regular initiative to foster direct communication between the government and its constituents.

Earlier on June 3, in a major step toward strengthening digital skilling in Goa, Pramod Sawant, Chief Minister of Goa, today inaugurated the Lenovo LEAP Digital Innovation Lab located at the Government College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Sanquelim and officially launched the program's dedicated online skilling platform.

The initiative aims to train 10,000 students across Goa in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Full Stack Web Development, with a strong focus on inclusion--targeting at least 40% women participants and reaching 1,000 students with disabilities. The Digital Innovation Lab will serve as a central space for hands-on, experiential learning.

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on June 2 termed the creation of the Divyang Department in his administration a "major change" in spearheading the welfare of the differently abled in the state."The Goa government has started a Divyang Department. This is a major change after the International Purple Festival," Sawant told ANI at the concluding ceremony of the ADIP Assessment Camp.

"Divyang Minister Subhash Faldessai has done excellent work. I thank the department and the minister. We are ahead of other governments when it comes to welfare for the divyangs," the Chief Minister added.

Good initiative by CM Sawant! Janta Darbar is the best way to understand ground realities. Hope the grievances get resolved quickly unlike previous times where files got stuck in bureaucracy. The digital skilling program looks promising too 👍

As a Goan, I appreciate the focus on digital education and inclusion. The 40% target for women in tech is commendable. But I hope they also improve basic infrastructure in rural areas - we still face power cuts and poor internet connectivity in many villages.

While these initiatives sound good on paper, I've attended 3 Janta Darbars in the past. Most complaints about water supply and roads remain unresolved. Action speaks louder than announcements. Hope this time will be different!

The Divyang Department is a much-needed step forward! As someone with a differently-abled sibling, I know how difficult accessibility is in Goa. Hope they implement proper infrastructure soon - ramps, audio signals at crossings, and job opportunities.

All these programs are good but what about unemployment? Many Goan youth are forced to work in cruise ships or abroad because local jobs pay poorly. First fix the core issues before fancy tech labs. Just my two paisa!
