With IT most of our governmental systems and processes can be simplified and made available online bringing in tremendous transparency and performance accountability from the elected leaders as well as government officers. This could help significantly reduce corruption while improving efficiency far beyond the little that has been done so far in Goa in the name of eGovernance.

If we adopt the right approach to the IT industry in Goa focused on enabling Goans to prosper in Goa then our chronic brain drain could be stopped and even reversed thereby uplifting the intellectual and economic wealth of our precious little state. Hence though it is important to expose and oppose frauds and scandals happening in the name of IT in Goa, far more important is to understand what and how Goans in Goa could gain through the right approach to IT for our Goemkarponn (Goan Identity) cannot survive, leave alone thrive, without economic empowerment of Goans in Goa. Done the right way, IT industry could change the future of Goans in Goa for good. Let’s think through and act wise.
