The IT/ ITES industry is extremely suited to Goa owing to

fact that it makes only conservative demands on precious resources
such as land, electricity and water. The government is keen
to encourage the IT/ITES industry in the state in a big way.

is the key to enhancing the welfare of the citizens of Goa
as IT can create employment opportunities for an increasing
proportion of the population in a variety of diverse sub-sectors.
