The Goa Government on Wednesday launched the amended ‘Mukhyamantri Swayamrojgar Yojana’ to provide collateral-free loans to local entrepreneurs, which aims to make Goans self-reliant, said Chief Minister Pramod Sawant.
The loans will be extended through the state-run Economic Development Corporation, he told reporters after launching the programme in Panaji.
“We are looking at self-reliance in all sectors. Entrepreneurship is in the DNA of Goans. We have been traditionally in the fishing business, farming and other activities, but eventually things changed,” the chief minister said.
The government has tweaked the ‘Mukhyamantri Swayamrojgar Yojana’ to extend collateral-free loans to local entrepreneurs, the CM said, adding, “We aim to make Goans self-reliant.”
