Goa is considered as one of the most advanced states in India in
terms of education and social infrastructure. The state is rich in
many minerals and there are some large manufacturing and production
units operating out of the state. By far the largest industry in the
state is tourism, which has contributed significantly to the state’s
economy. With a much higher literacy rate than the rest of India and
significant improvement in physical infrastructure, Goa is poised to
become one of the leading economic regions in India, which would be
in a position to attract larger number of tourist to its fold.
