The Government of Goa has taken center stage in implementing nationwide GST reforms, with the new two-slab GST structure (5% and 18%) going into effect on September 22, 2025.

The reforms, supported by Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant and endorsed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mark a significant milestone in India’s journey toward Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat.

Key Highlights of the Reform

  • Two-slab structure: Goods & services now taxed at either 5% or 18%.
  • Consumer benefit: Surprise inspections to ensure reduced rates reach buyers.
  • Support for MSMEs: Simplified compliance and reduced tax burden.
  • Boost to local manufacturing & exports: Designed to promote Swadeshi and global competitiveness.

Addressing the nation on the eve of Navratri, PM Modi said the reforms will accelerate India’s growth story:

“Swadeshi will render strength to the country’s prosperity in a similar way it powered India’s freedom movement.”

CM Pramod Sawant, a member of the GST Council, called it the beginning of a GST Bachat Utsav:

“Goa is fully committed to modernising infrastructure, simplifying processes and empowering our entrepreneurs so that Swadeshi products shine proudly in India and across the globe.”

The Bigger Picture

The reform is part of India’s broader policy framework that includes GST simplification, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, and the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes. Together, these initiatives are powering India’s journey from Make in India to Make for the World.

With Goa at the forefront, the reforms are expected to set an example for other states, reinforcing India’s position as a rising global economic powerhouse.

Alongside this formation, they created beautifully crafted greeting cards, pouring their thoughts and wishes into colorful expressions of gratitude and appreciation for the Prime Minister.

But the event was more than just a celebration. It was a moment of commitment and awareness. As part of the nationwide Seva Pakhwada initiative running from September 17 to October 2, the students took both a physical and digital pledge to work toward a cleaner, greener India. They vowed to minimize waste, avoid the use of single-use plastics, and inspire their communities to participate in cleanliness efforts.

What made their pledge stand out was their focus on combining action with innovation—emphasizing the role of technology in spreading awareness and making environmental change accessible. With both hands and technology, the students aim to lead by example and encourage others to join in creating a sustainable future.

The celebration at PM SHRI GHS Morpirla was a blend of tribute and action—a reflection of how young minds are not only honoring leaders but also stepping up to shape the future they want to live in.
