Goa Health Minister Vishwajit Rane has said that the opinions and expectations of Gen Z must play an important role in shaping government policies. Speaking at a public event in Usgao village in North Goa on Wednesday, Rane said young people cannot be ignored and their concerns should be reflected in decision-making.
