Kundapur, Oct 7: “It is difficult to structure a society without dreams. Crores of people had dreamt for the last several years of strong, prosperous and self-confident India. The dream of Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole of the prosperous Byndoor is an amazing concept,” said former minister and MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary.
He was speaking in the programme of congratulating Dr Srinivas Shetty Haladi, inauguration of ‘300 trees’ and unveiling the concept of prosperous Byndoorat Trasi at Konkani Kharvi auditorium on Saturday.
“Nearly 40% positions are vacant in various government departments in the state. Nearly 6.5 lac jobs can be created if 1% jobs are created by the government. There is a dream of self-employment in prosperous Byndoor. Nearly 10,000 out of 45,000 government schools in the state are likely to be closed for lack of students within a few years. Therefore, Byndoor should form unique projects for the survival and development of government schools. Planning the treatment of 37 people suffering from back pain is a revolutionary concept. May the concept of facing challenges and of the prosperous Byndoor be successful,” he said.
Byndoor MLA Gururaj Gantihole who presided over the programme said that Byndoor has all qualities conducive for growth. “The improvement was not as expected due to lack of clear projects, necessary resources and implementation. The programme of commercialization of tourism, technology along with growth of fishing, education and health sectors using ample opportunities is the concept of prosperous Byndoor,” he said.
