COMMENTS
KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY
• IDEA IS FEASIBLE IN GOA
• CAN REVERSE GOA’S BRAIN DRAIN
• WILL ATTRACT EDUCATED LABOUR TO GOA
INSTEAD OF UNEDUCATED
• MINIMAL DAMAGE TO ENVIRONMENT
• RAISE THE WAGE LEVELS AND STANDARD OF
LIVING
ADDITIONAL ISSUES
• POPULATION
• URBANIZATION
• PUBLIC TRANSPORT
POPULATION
• WHAT WILL BE GOA’S
POPULATION IN 2035?
• DOES GOA HAVE A PLAN TO COPE
WITH POPULATION ISSUES IN
2035?
URBANIZATION 2035
• WITH HIGH ECONOMIC GROWTH, INDIA
(GOA INCLUDED) WILL SEE A HUGE
INCREASE IN MIGRATION AND
URBANIZATION IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS
• DOES GOA HAVE A LONG TERM PLAN TO
COPE WITH RISING URBANIZATION BY
2035?
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
• WITH RISING AFFLUENCE, THE POPULATION
OF PRIVATE VEHICLES IN GOA WILL RISE
(DOUBLE? TREBLE?) BY 2035
• DOES GOA HAVE A LONG TERM PLAN TO DEAL
WITH AN 100% (OR 200%) INCREASE IN
PRIVATE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC BY 2035?
• WILL THERE BE ENOUGH ROADS? WILL THERE
BE SPACE FOR PARKING?
LONG TERM PLANNING
GOA NEEDS LONG TERM PLANS (3050 YEARS) INSTEAD OF SHORT TERM
PLANS (5-10 YEARS) TO DEAL WITH
POPULATION, URBANIZATION AND
PUBLIC TRANSPORT SITUATION OF
THE FUTURE
COMMENT BY GURCHARAN DAS
• Indians tend to blame ideology or democracy
for their failures, but the real problem is that
they value ideas over accomplishment.
• Most Indian politicians and civil servants fail to
plan their projects well, monitor them, or
follow through on them: their performance
failures mostly have to do with poor
execution.
CONCLUSION
• GOA 2035 VISION AND ROAD MAP IS
A VERY GOOD REPORT
• THE QUESTION IS WILL GOA’S
POLITICAL CLASS AND GOVERNMENT
BUREAUCRACY WANT TO
IMPLEMENT AND BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT THE REPORT?
