I. Nunes comments: NRG's remittances account (conservatively) for upwards of 6% of Goa's GDP. Which is why RGs are encouraged to seek outside employment. Mr. Noronha has referred to the out migration as a "virus". No such thing. If one discounts wars and upheavals, people emigrate primarily for economic opportunities. The government in Goa has done little to increase job opportunities for Goans in Goa. The politicians can only come up with junk: tourism, resorts, cruises, casinos and the kind. This is not sustainable.
