PANJIM: Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday assured the Goan industry of a single window clearance system through Goa Investment Promotions and Facilitation Board which will be set up in three months.
“I acknowledge that Goan industry faces problems of infrastructure, power and water supply, but my government is ready to solve these problems with the active support and help of the industry,” Sawant said.
Sawant was speaking to industrialists and business persons at a function organised by Vibrant Goa Foundation to promote Vibrant Goa-Global Expo and Summit 2019.
He assured the organisers of Vibrant Goa of the government’s support. “The Vibrant Goa summit in October will benefit the state and Goan industry and hence we are supporting it one hundred per cent.”
The CM expressed his hope that many non-polluting companies would start business in Goa in the near future, resulting in jobs for local youth.
Anil Counto, chairman, Alcon Group and vice-chairman of the Vibrant Goa Foundation urged Goan business persons to get involved in the Vibrant Goa summit.
Sawant also pledged support for the government-backed Goa Miles app-based taxi service. “The Goa Miles project is beneficial for taxi drivers and customers and is critical for the growth of our tourism industry. Goa Miles has 100 per cent support of my government,” Sawant said.
