Panaji: Goa on Thursday became the fifth state to collaborate with the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) on youth skilling, following Uttarakhand, Meghalaya, Chhattisgarh, and Assam.
The state government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NSE to launch the ‘Student Skilling Program,’ aimed at equipping Goa’s youth with industry-relevant skills in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector.
The MoU was exchanged between Director of Higher Education Bhushan Savaikar and NSE Chief Business Development Officer Sriram Krishnan in the presence of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant at the Government College of Arts, Science, and Commerce, Sankhali.
“There is demand for financial planners, insurance agents, and other experts in the sector, and students can take up these professions while pursuing their studies,” said Sawant. He added that the state government is committed to strengthening STEM education through CARES, Innovation and Startup hubs, and integrating science with sustainable development.
“Everyone must embrace a scientific temper guided by the vision of Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi, to pave the way for a Viksit Goa, Viksit Bharat,” he said.
A press statement issued by NSE noted that Goa, with its expanding financial ecosystem, is well-positioned to contribute significantly to the BFSI sector, provided its youth are equipped with the right skills. “NSE’s Student Skilling Program aligns with the government’s vision of unlocking human capital, enabling financial well-being, and promoting social mobility,” the statement read.
The Goa government has prioritised skill development and remains committed to bridging the skill gap while enhancing employment opportunities for the state’s youth, the statement further added.
