Goa Legislative Assembly

This House resolves that the Government should formulate a policy to provide subsidised fish curry and rice to goans which is the staple diet of Goemkars. The constant and substantial increase in prices of essential commodities and fish is making it extremely difficult for the common Goemkars to make ends meet and thus maintain a wholesome diet. This House further resolves that this subsidised meal be provided through canteens which will be run by organisations such as women self-help groups, so that this programme will also provide an avenue of income for such organisations.”

“This House strongly resolves the Government to formulate a Heritage Conservation Policy. Goa has got 51 notified structures under the State Archaeology Department and close to 430 additional monuments and structures with immense heritage value, the State Government is yet to put in place a ‘Heritage Conservation Policy’ to conserve and preserve these architectural monuments”.

The level of examination of JEE is not suitable for the type of curriculum that has been adopted by Goa Board and hence this step will result in rampant rise in coaching classes that charge exorbitantly. The steps the Government will take to ensure that poor students will not suffer and lose an opportunity to secure admission to local Engineering colleges”.

There are thousands of houses in Goa which do not have motorable road access and instead use the traditional (kaccha) road access through private property.  The survey department failed to show access to many properties on the survey maps.  This has resulted in an increase in conflict in the villages where landlords have been blocking road access to the affected people's homes by constructing compound walls. As a result, it is almost impossible for emergency services to access such houses in case of an accident or weather-related disaster. The steps the Government has taken to initiate a State-wide exercise to identify such landlocked properties and modify the survey maps to reflect existing access to such plots”.
