One of these is the occasional absence of publicity for possible role models to Goan youth.
In this connection I think it is appalling that your service has totally ignored the fact that a Goan, Francisco D'Souza, was recently named "Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Economic Times in its annual awards survey undertaken by leaders such as Narayana Murthy, Ratan Tata etc. This is, by any standard, a prestigious recognition of Goan talent and achievement, which merits wider notice among the Goan fraternity. We have few Goans in high positions in business, and to have achieved eminenceĀ in this area at the young age of 35 calls for celebration and emulation. I believe the actual awards ceremony is to take place one of these days and I hope that Goanet will not miss it this time. S. K. Dhoot
