Manipal: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant visited the Udayavani office at Manipal on Saturday, October 8 evening.

Talking about the Swayampurna Goa initiative, Sawant said, ” The initiative was launched to promote the conversion of every village into a self-efficient autonomous entity where all the systems and facilities for a dignified living are available. The model must be implemented in other states too.”

He further said, “Under the ‘Swayampurna Goa’ program, a state government officer is appointed as ‘Swayampurna Mitra’. He visits a designated panchayat or municipality, interacts with people, coordinates with multiple government departments, and ensures that various government schemes and benefits are available to eligible beneficiaries.”

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also appreciated our efforts and asked other states to follow the same concept. Goa has achieved rapid progress with a “double-engine government” in place. With PM Modi’s vision and initiatives, our dream of “Navabharat” will soon come true,” he added.

Mr. T Gautham Pai, the Executive Chairman of Manipal Technologies Ltd, MLA Raghupathi Bhat, Dr Krishna Prasad of Prasad Nethralaya were present.
