2021

Aims and Objectives of the Scheme.— A

free and vibrant media is an essential element

of a democratic system, the reason why, both

democracy and media have flourished side

by side in this country, since independence.

Both have also been victims of ferocious

attacks from the intolerant sections, and both

have emerged the winner in the end, indeed,

even with more strength then before.

Quite apart from such challenges, the

media in the country has been confronted

with the challenge of rapidly changing

technology that has impacted the profession.

How good a journalist is also now depends

on how well one has understood and

exploited information enabling technologies.

The situation in Goa has been no different.

And today, the State of Goa has representative

in virtually every major print and electronic

media organization and their work is reflected

well in all quarters.

The Government of Goa has been

performing its mandated role of contri-

buting to the freedom of the press. It has not

hesitated to provide assistance, whenever

required by the media, to help them to

discharge their duties and responsibilities

without fear or favour. Goa, perhaps is one of

the few State to introduce Goa Journalist

Welfare schemes under which retired

journalist receive a pension.

Keeping in mind the needs of the

Journalist in an environment where

technology is crucial, and more so, when the

world is switching to digital, the State
