Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Saturday said the State government plans to advertise about 5,000 jobs in January and February, adding that the process would be started shortly.
Speaking after inaugurating a Self Employment Awareness camp during the ‘Sankhali Mahotsav 2019’ at Ravindra Bhavan in Sankhali, Sawant, however, said Goan youth only want government jobs but it was impossible to provide jobs to every youth.
“At present, there are about 70,000 government employees and the State plans to advertise about 5,000 jobs in January and February. This process will start shortly. Over the next two years, around 7,000 new jobs will be available,” he said.
Appealing to Goan youth to pursue jobs in the private sector, the chief minister said: “Only 15,000 Goans are employed in the private sector, while 35,000 are from outside Goa.
