Overview
The
State of Goa with geographical area of around 3200 square
kilometres has around 5500 industrial units and 18 industrial
estates. With high literacy, well-educated manpower, peaceful
environment, good transport and power facilities, Goa is
first emerging as one of the best industrial locales in
the country. Goa is a haven for eco-friendly industrial
units, thus keeping pollution under check and maintaining
the natural ambience of the beautiful state. A post-liberated
Goa has come a long way from depending on mining as the
sole industrial activity. Conscious efforts, both at Government
and private levels, have seen Goa diversifying into eco-friendly
sectors like electronics, software, automobile accessories,
pharmaceuticals, tourism etc, besides developing traditional
sectors like agriculture and fisheries and strengthening
financial institutions.
