While the term ‘green economy’ refers to the economic system that aims at reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims for sustainable development, ‘blue economy’ or the ocean economy, is a term used to describe the economic activities associated with the oceans and seas. “We have successfully conducted international events like Ironman, G20 and India Energy Week. ONGC has decided to host IEW permanently in Goa every year,” he said.

According to Sawant, his government lays stress on community farming to ensure that fallow land is brought under cultivation. “Goa is leading all other states by attaining 100 per cent saturation in the eight flagship programmes introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” he said.
The state government has decided to lay special emphasis on infrastructure development.
“Structural audit of all the buildings housing state administration offices will be conducted and wherever required, new buildings would be constructed,” he said.
Out of 12 talukas in the state, foundation stone for new administration buildings would be laid in nine talukas as three others have already got new buildings, he said.
Sawant also said that the CM helpline has been launched from Thursday to help common people lodge their complaints directly to him.
