Dr. Barad, I agree with most of your views except one. You say that Goans will be given altu faltu jobs. What do business establishments stand to gain by doing this? Are educated Goans not employed outside Goa?. It is unlikely that a software engineer will be asked to become a security guard.
I don't think it should matter whether the industries that start in Goa are Goan or non-Goan, as long as they provide job opportunities to goans. With a lot of industries around, at least goans will not have to migrate to other states. Also, think of how many goans are enterprising enough to start businesses. If non-goan companies are going to provide jobs to goans and pay taxes to the govt, I don't think they will be a burden on the state exchequer.
