Admission for Engineering Colleges in Goa

“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”.

Road Access to the Houses

“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”.
