The celebrations coincided with the IITF, where Goa has also set up a pavilion. Goa chief minister Digamber Kamat and Minister of State, Parliamentary affairs, Rajiv Shukla were also present at the event.

“It is a very proud moment for me, since we are celebrating the golden jubilee for our liberation. This is also a time to look at the past and see what we have achieved and take a look at what more we need to do in the future,” Kamat said.

Talking about the improvements the state needs, Shukla said, “Goa desperately needs a new airport.” Kamat announced that a road map for the state’s development for the next 25 years is under preparation.
