FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Chetana, our in-house research journal, is now four years old. Research and publication are areas where college teachers are normally found wanting. By introducing Chetana, we have offered our teachers a means of communicating their ideas to a larger audience within the teaching community in Goa.
As with other sectors, the education sector is also being liberalized. Foreign and private universities will soon be a part and parcel of the higher education scene. Under such circumstances, it is important that teachers remain up-to-date in their subjects and also explore new areas of interest.
The articles in this issue of Chetana cover a wide range of topics. These include the WTO & Indian agriculture, the fishing industry in Goa, banking, the relationship between environmental degradation and poverty, the service tax, credit cooperative societies and the status of Commerce education. This diverse collection of articles indicates the varied interests of our teachers.
Through this journal, we aspire to awaken greater interest in research and writing among our teachers. We have made some progress in this direction but there is still a long way to go.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
We are very happy to place this issue of Chetana before you after a lapse of one year. Many of our staff members have started work on research projects in their respective subjects and accordingly the reader would find articles relating to diverse fields in this issue.
A teacher is always a student. He should be able to constantly learn, unlearn and relearn. It is pertinent, at this point, to quote this incident. When asked why he spent so much time preparing for his lectures, Prof. Arnold replied, “I prefer that my students should drink water from a running stream rather than from a stagnant pond”.
It is our fervent hope that all the teachers in this college will continue their education forever to benefit themselves as well as the student community.
