Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has urged the youth of Goa not to rely on political contacts for employment, emphasizing that the government cannot bring jobs directly to households. Speaking at a recent public engagement, CM Sawant encouraged young Goans to proactively explore opportunities in both government and private sectors.
Addressing students and job seekers, the Chief Minister highlighted the importance of self-reliance and skill development in securing meaningful employment. He stressed that while the government can facilitate platforms such as job fairs and skill-building programs, individuals must actively participate and prepare themselves to seize available opportunities.
CM Sawant specifically recommended that the youth attend upcoming job fairs organized across the state, which aim to connect candidates with potential employers from diverse sectors. He noted that such events are designed to provide exposure to various industries, bridging the gap between education and employment.
“The government is committed to supporting job creation and entrepreneurship,” the Chief Minister said, “but expecting jobs merely through political influence is neither practical nor sustainable. Young people should equip themselves with skills, stay informed about available opportunities, and participate in job fairs to build successful careers.”
Officials stated that the state government continues to collaborate with both public and private organizations to expand employment opportunities and enhance skill development initiatives. By encouraging active participation, CM Sawant hopes to foster a culture of self-motivation and professional growth among Goan youth.
The Chief Minister’s remarks underscore the state’s focus on empowering its youth through skill development, career guidance, and transparent access to employment opportunities, signaling a proactive approach to addressing unemployment in Goa.
