Four legislators took charge as chairpersons of various government corporations on Thursday.
The new chairpersons who took charge were Curtorim Independent MLA Aleixo Reginaldo Lourenco (Goa Industrial Development Corporation), Poriem BJP MLA Deviya Rane (Goa Forest Development Corporation), Mayem BJP MLA Premendra Shet (Goa Horticulture Corporation) and Vasco MLA Daji Salkar (South Goa Planning and Development Authority).
While the appointments were made a fortnight ago, the four chairpersons took charge only on Thursday.
Reginaldo Lourenco said his priority would be to ensure that GSIDC develops good infrastructure for the industry.
Deviya Rane said there is scope to have tourism-related activities through the GFDC.
"Will bring in changes to promote hinterland tourism. We have to change the perception that Goa is famous only for beach tourism,” said Rane.
“Besides, there are a lot of cashew plantations under the corporation and I will see how best to increase the revenue for the corporation.”
Goa Horticulture Corporation Chairman Premendra Shet said he would try to motivate Goan farmers to pursue agriculture by giving them good market benefits for their produce.
