Governor of Goa, Bhagat Singh Koshyari has extended his heartiest greetings and best wishes to the people of Goa on the happy occasion of the New Year 2021.
The Governor in his message has said, every New Year is an important occasion for us to look into the past and contemplate the future. The year gone by has been a difficult one because of the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic and most of the year having been spent in fighting this deadly virus. However, with the admirable support and cooperation of the people, the Government has been able to successfully contain the infection and loss of lives. Every crisis also presents an opportunity and this was the time when new ideas such as ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Swayampurna Goa’ were born. Inspite of the adversities arising from the pandemic, Goa has done well by opening up the economy, providing for the welfare of the people and taking steps to promote tourism.
The Governor further adds, we look forward to the New Year with new hopes, expectations and aspirations. We eagerly await the production of a safe and effective vaccine that would defeat the Corona virus. Let us resolve that in the New Year Swayampurna Goa would be successfully implemented and there would be further improvement in the overall social and economic development of the State. May this New Year bring greater happiness, peace and prosperity to all Goans, Governor concludes.
Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant has extended his best wishes to the people of Goa on the occasion of New Year 2021.
In his message the Chief Minister has said that New Year gives us an opportunity to search and evolve new resolutions for the coming year. ‘Year 2020 has been quite crucial in terms of everything. The novel Covid-19 Pandemic, being the prime highlight, has undoubtedly given us a very different insight. Let us be hopeful that this difficult phase will pass as soon as possible, and year 2021 will be filled with cheer, optimism, and good health and usher in progress and development in the State," the Chief Minister concludes.
