Goa CM Pramod Sawant hosts public grievance session in Sankhali, reinforcing direct government-citizen communication

"This is a major change after the International Purple Festival - Pramod Sawant"

Sankhali, June 7

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant held a Janta Darbar on Saturday 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 are addressed quickly unlike previous times where files just kept moving between departments. The digital skilling program looks promising too 👍

As a teacher from Sanquelim, I'm thrilled about the Digital Innovation Lab! Finally our students will get exposure to AI and web development. But government should ensure regular maintenance of equipment - many such initiatives fail due to poor upkeep.

The Divyang Department is a much-needed step. My brother is differently abled and we've struggled for years to get basic facilities. Hope this isn't just another announcement but brings real change on ground level. Waiting to see implementation!

While these initiatives look good on paper, I wish the CM would focus more on basic issues like garbage disposal and water shortage in Goa first. Our beaches are getting dirtier every year. Development should be balanced with environmental protection.

The 40% reservation for women in digital skilling is commendable! Goa is showing the way for women empowerment in tech. My daughter is excited to enroll. Hope they expand this to other districts soon.

Attended the Janta Darbar yesterday. CM listened patiently but most answers were "we'll look into it". Need concrete timelines for solutions. Also, why only Sankhali? Should rotate across all talukas so common people don't have to travel far.
