PANAJI: Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday said offshore casinos will be issued licences, provided they formally express their willingness to shift to areas to be identified as 'designated zones'
The Chief Minister, who spelt out the contours of his government's Casino Policy as well as 'Employment Policy' on the penultimate day of the Goa legislature's Monsoon Session on Friday, said the licences in the 'designated zones' could be considered for 10 to 15 years in view of the business requiring huge investments.
He said, on their willingness to shift, the Casinos will be given a maximum of four years to do so.
The chief minister also said as per the Casino Policy, Goans will not be permitted to enter the casino playing areas which will be open only to visiting tourists. The mechanism to ensure Goans are barred entry will be put in place once a "Gaming Commissioner" is appointed by December this year.
Touching on his government's employment policy, the chief minister said hiring by the State government will address issues of temporary and contractual employees in a phased manner.
"On completion of certain period of service, regularization will be considered provided guidelines being formulated are met," Parrikar said.
Parrikar also said that the government hiring for all positions will give weightage to experience of at least two years in similar positions in the private sector.
From September nearly 2500 positions in almost half the government departments will be up for grabs, the chief minister indicated.
For mundane positions of LDCs, a common selection test will be held for all vacancies across government departments, Parrikar said, adding that it will ensure that the aspirants do not have to apply and answer exams repeatedly.
For employment in private sector, Parrikar said that the policy will prescribe affirmitve action focussing on employment of Goans across the private sector.
The policy also includes a module by which young graduates are encouraged to become government contractors, Parrikar said the government will ensure that all works contracts worth up to Rs 20-25 lakhs will be awarded only to Goan contractors and the initial amount of advance paid would be enhanced to ensure working capital in their hands.
