Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually address Goans at 11am on October 23. He will directly interact with seven Goans involved in the implementation and who have benefited from the Atmanirbhar Bharat, Swayampurna Goem programme. Screens will be installed at all major public bus stands to watch Modis address, chief minister Pramod Sawant said.
Sawant said it will be the first time the PM interacts with people from any state over the success in implementation of programmes under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
Since the launch of the Swayampurna Goem programme, Rs 20 crore loan has been sanctioned to 15% of farmers in Goa so far, with a benefit of Rs 1.60 lakh per farmer.
