“Collective awareness is the power of the main increase for independence,” he said.
It was also decided that there was a need to compile important data on Goa on geographical resources, demographics, water resources, forest resources, agriculture products, horticulture products, livestock, fisheries, tourism industries, transportation and other economic indicators.
