And India’s best batsman and captain was away.
And we won. Yes! A team comprising mostly Generation Z-ers (born in 1995 and later) stood up with a fearlessness and their heads held so high that Rabindranath Tagore would have been proud.

While most of the suggestions of the IIT are yet to be implemented, officials say the IRP has decided to float the tender for the supply and installation of guard rail and metal beam crash barriers on the Yamuna expressway, costing about Rs 76.72 crore. “The banks have allowed the beginning of some work through the IRP.

Education is the key to Goa’s future Updated Jan 22, 2021 | 20:45 IST
The central Government under the able and visionary leadership of Shri Narendra Modi ji has been extremely cooperative and supportive for the Government of Goa. The sprawling campus of IIT Goa.
We are in the 60th year of Goa’s liberation and in a sense this is the right time that we make the right choices for which our future generations would be proud.

We have to think of ways and means to achieve self–reliance for the state as well as our people, we have to improve upon various sectors, we have to optimise our effort to achieve desired results. My call for “Swayampurna Goa” is not a dream, it is not even a hypothesis, it is rather a mission which will yield great results in the ensuing months.
