Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Minister Shri Rohan Khaunte, Goa’s Department of Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (DITE&C) is accelerating its digital skilling initiatives. From empowering students through free laptop distribution and IT Knowledge Centres to promoting women’s digital literacy and nurturing emerging tech talent, the State is building a future-ready, inclusive digital ecosystem.
Meet Gillbert — a 3D-printed robot fish designed by Eleanor Mackintosh, a student at the University of Surrey. Shaped like a salmon and powered by innovation, Gillbert filters microplastics from polluted water while mimicking the movements of real fish. Open-source and ready for the world, this student-led creation is already swimming in UK lakes, proving that impactful solutions can start right in the classroom.
Goa's transformation into a hub of creativity and innovation is taking shape through grassroots programs like Maker’s Asylum, where 77 young makers from 5 countries built real-world tech solutions this summer. With support from DITE&C and global mentors, the Innovation School in Moira is building a future-ready, experiential learning ecosystem aligned with Goa’s vision of becoming India’s Creative Capital.
