Goa Awarded The 'Best Performing Small State' | NDTV Indian Of The Year Awards

Goa was awarded the 'Best Performing Small State' award' at the event. On Covid hitting tourism in Goa, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said, "We started the Swayamoorna Goa mission under the PM's Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. Then we got the Centre's schemes and tapped all the central funds to states. We were scared to restart tourism. Goa was the first state to begin tourism after Covid. We revised the various non-tax revenues. Rest, we gave ease of doing business to industries which boosted the economy. With mining, tourism, and industries, we evolved the economy."
