Analysis of Backward and Forward Linkages Associated with Migrant Street Fish Vendors from Goa
(Springer Nature, 2025. 285-291 Sustainable Digital Technology and Ethics in an Ever-Changing Environment: Volume 2, 2025) D’Souza, John Xavier
The Indian Economy has always been characterized as an Agrarian Economy. A large number of families from the rural regions in India are still dependent on agriculture for livelihood. However with the passage of time the needs of the families have grown exponentially, making it difficult for them to satisfy those needs solely by farming. Hence people have resorted to migration. Employment can be considered as one of the core reasons for migration in India. Although there are numerous challenges faced by the migrants there are backward and forward linkages associated with them too. Goa also attracts a large number of migrants from different states, which are involved in street fish vending. The paper makes an attempt to examine the backward and forward linkages associated with migrant street fish vendors from Goa and also tries to provide a review of the challenges faced by migrant fish vendors. This paper is based on the Ph.D. study, concerning with the Migrant Street Fish Vendors from Goa.

Sustainable agriculture and economic growth
(Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research, 2019) Colaco, Vembly
Globally now, economic growth is directed towards sustainable development goals (SDGs). Agriculture being the primary economic activity can be a natural model in this regard. Agriculture – even in the high tech era – should not be at the cost of the environment. Farm and farmers lives should be nurtured and supported with ecological balance. Taking into consideration the slogan, “think globally and act locally”, we examine the philosophy and practice of sustainable agriculture in India, We also briefly touch upon Goa, a state that is finally taking agriculture seriously. The paper discusses crucial problems and critical policy imperatives for sustainable agriculture such as organic farming and other possible actions. We emphasize on the term “RUrban” to highlight how some places in Goa require a sustainable integration of rural and urban communities too. Presently the state’s agriculture in being increasingly threatened by lopsided development of other activities, chiefly, tourism. It is necessary, therefore to execute policies and programmes that are not only financially viable and technically feasible, but also ecologically sustainable. On the basis of the findings of our study we suggest an integrated farming system (micro, innovative and inclusive) approach for the state’s agricultural sector
