Panaji: With an eye on the 2022 polls, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant announced a bonanza of 10,000 government jobs within the next six months in his Goa Revolution Day speech on Friday. Sawant also said that the Goa government would be starting a coding and robotics module in the state's schools in the coming academic year. "I have seen that many have lost their employment in the private sector due to Covid. So many youths in Goa are now unemployed. I am worried about this," Sawant said in his virtual speech.
"All government vacancies will be filled in the next six months. Some have been advertised and others have not been advertised yet in someday. Approximately 10,000 jobs over the next six months will be filled after conducting examinations and physical tests," the Chief Minister said. Polls to the state assembly are scheduled to be held in early 2022.

The Chief Minister also said that special government centres would be started in the state's colleges to coach students for competitive examinations conducted by the Union Public Service Commission, as well as for recruitment in banks and other Central government services.
