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 (30-50 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?
