If the information in the article below is true and I have no doubt it is, then: Congratulations and Thank you Kavish Kamat and Anil Sastry for your article. Congratualtions to native Goans for that progress. How come that article appeared in Hindu and not in a Goan paper? How come the story below is never recounted by Goan journalists? They are always negative on Goa, at least their posts on cyber Goa. I am sure someone is going to write the article is all humbug; but with no data of their own. Or they will find a dark cloud to fill this silver lining of Goa? Will our Nay-sayer Goan journos take it easy on their factual colleagues?:=)) Now I can understand why "the same old politicians" keep getting elected.:=)) Kind Regards, GL ============= Marching ahead (The Hindu) Kavish Kamat Anil Sastry
LARGELY an agrarian economy, which relied considerably on imports, trade and iron ore mining in the pre-liberation days, Goa, today, is an industrially-developing State. Known for its high-literacy rate, widespread knowledge of English and pleasant environment, the State has developed into a pharma hub. A study on this industry, conducted by Pyramid Finance Ltd, says: "Goa has exhibited a brilliant aptitude towards attracting pharmaceutical investments. With less than 20 companies in this sector in 1991, there are today over 50 companies in this sector generating a total revenue of over Rs 1,900 crore, constituting roughly 7.2 per cent of the total drug production in the country."
