Goa Legislative Assembly

“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 House strongly recommends the Government to take serious cognizance of the high unemployment rate in the State of Goa and initiate necessary steps to provide industry-demand based job skills to at least 20,000 unemployed youth in the next two financial years under Skill Development Mission and ensure that Goan candidates are preferred in private sector jobs in the State.”

“Fear and anxiety in the mind of parents of candidates who aspire for taking admission for Engineering Colleges in Goa by answering the entrance test as government has abolished the GCET exam from 2023-24 and instead adopted JEE mains for granting admission for such programmes. 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”.

“Fear and Anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa with regard to road access to their houses. 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”.

 "fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa, especially those dependent on the Tourism, Music and Entertainment Industry, with regards to the negative impact on Goan Culture, Social Events, Religious festivals, weddings, family functions and Goan Tourism Industry as a result of the ban on playing amplified music beyond 10 00 PM”. The steps the Government will take in this matter”.

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of people because of the delay in finalizing the Coastal Zone Management Plan, particularly the identification of sand dunes, and the impact it will have on local fishing activity, trade and environment. Steps the Government intends to take in this regards.”

Fear  and Anxiety in the minds of people from Sao Jose de Areal of spread of water borne disease because of large amount of scrap material lying illegally in the open space and due to non desilting of gutters at Margao Industrial Estate in Sao Jose de Areal . the step Government intends to take in this matter." steps the Government intends top take in this regards.

Fear and anxiety in the mind of public due to shortage and non-availaibility of sand and other construction material in the state due to ban on sand mining and restrictions on transporting them form outside state of Goa.
The general public in particular low income group persons aspiring to build or buy houses/flats are put to financial difficulty to procure the material or have to postpone/abandon their dream of building an affordable house.
Steps government would take to remove this artificial shortage of sand and other materials.
 

Fear and anxiety in the mind of students, staff and other commuters to Goa University and other places travelling through MDR road from GMC to Donapaula via Goa University as speed breakers and rumbler strips have been removed that has resulted in over speeding vehicles that may lead to life threatening accidents on this road. The vehicle that was responsible for the recent tragic accident at Banastari bridge  resulting in death of innocent lives has been captured by street CC Camera for more than 6 times in a span of 40 days  on this road. The speed breakers and rumbler strips which were installed have been removed for more than 3 months that permits over speeding. It is prayed that these speed breakers and rumblers be restored immediately to minimize risk of major accidents on this busy road. Instructions may be issued to  PWD, Transport Department and Collectors of North Goa in this regard.

Fear and anxiety in the mind of parents and children’s from South Goa who wish to learn Western Music but Directorate of Art and Culture and Kala Academy Goa has not provided this stream in the music centers run by them in Margao and elsewhere in Goa despite huge demand for Western Music education in South Goa. The teachers of Western Music are also not appointed on regular basis despite availability of experts.  It is requested that Western Music School be started in Margao being the major town of South Goa and also regular teachers in Western Music be appointed to teach not only at south Goa but also in other centers of Goa.

Fear and anxiety in the mind of terminated Multi Tasking Staff(MTS) on contract basis at Goa University and their dependent families as they have been terminated after working for several years and now rendered jobless for more than two months making them difficult to ensure livelihood. They have been working for several years at Goa University and it is next to impossible for them to get gainful employment at any other place and hence have requested Goa University to look at their issues sympathetically and recall them immediately. Government is requested to direct Goa University to recall these staff.
 

Fear and anxiety in the mind of senior citizens who due to one or the other reason are forced to live alone in their homes as either they do not have childrens or their childrens are settled abroad for livelihood. They are facing severe problem of loneliness and need support in terms of counseling and sometimes just a visit to talk to them. I urge upon government to appoint Senior Citizen Mitra volunteers who are approved and authorized to visit such families and spend few moments with them and act as a link between them and various government agencies.
