Goa Legislative Assembly

“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.”

This House strongly recommends the Government that the three linear projects of double-tracking of South Western railway lines, Tanmar Power Transmission and expansion of National Highway 4-A passing through the protected areas of Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary and Mollem National Park be scrapped in the interest of the public who have shown strong opposition to these three projects that threaten the ecology of the area and also in view of the recommendation by the CEC. Further, this House recommends the Government to withdraw all cases filed against citizens/NGOs for executing their Constitutional duty under Article 51-A (g) of protecting the environment against the three linear projects through peaceful protests.

“Fear and anxiety in the minds of Goans and villagers of BHOMA and CORLIM that their traditional  residential houses, Temples will be demolished, their tradition, culture and livelihood will be affected,  due to the land acquisition notice issued under section 3 (G) (3) of the National Highways Act, 1956 by the office of the special land acquisition officer CALA, PWD (Cell), Altinho Panaji Goa in the local newspaper on 05.08.2023, as the Competent Authority of Land Acquisition (CALA) is in the process of determination of amount payable as compensation to the owners/interested persons, Notice to all the interested person in such lands is issued to appear before the CALA, on or before 25.08.2023 to submit their claims. The steps the Government intends to take in this matter".

“fear and anxiety in the minds of Tribal Communities due to non availability of Market to sell their seasonal products like chillies, cucumbers, etc. Presently they are selling their products alongside the road thus putting their lives at risk. The measures Government has taken in this regard”.

 "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”.

“fear and anxiety in the minds of the people of Goa about the floods due to heavy rainfall affecting many parts of Goa, whether the State Disaster Management Authority lacks the capability of ly dealing with such weather phenomena and whether the Government’s lack of consideration of climate change while planning mega infrastructure projects is only worsening the situation. The steps the Government will take as regards the same.”

Fear and anxiety in the minds of the youths  working under Goa Human Resource Development Corporation (GHRDC) as Security Guards. Their postings require them to travel over 50 kms from their homes to carry out their duties. Many youngsters from Canacona, Quepem, and Sanguem Talukas are assigned to Bambolim and Panjim. With meager salaries below Rs. 20,000/- these youths besides their travel fares for up and down journeys exhaust their energy in long journeys and find it extremely difficult to manage their families who are totally  dependent on them. I appeal to the relevant authorities to show consideration by placing these security guards in more convenient locations, preferably within 20 kms of their residences.

Fear and anxiety in the minds of parents seeking admission for physically disabled individuals, particularly those with autism, due to the scarcity of available seats in educational institutions. The limited number of openings raises concerns about these students\' access to basic education. In light of this, what measures does the Government plan to implement to ensure that these students are not denied the opportunity to receive essential education?

Fear and anxiety in the minds of Quepemkars due to non-functioning of the Archives office, which was inaugurated on December 30, 2021, in the presence of Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant. The locals believe that this situation is resulting in a waste of taxpayers\' money. What plans does the government have to address this issue and initiate the functioning of the Archives office in the Quepem Constituency?

Fear and anxiety in the minds of Parents, Teachers, and Students of Government High School Fatorpa and Nuvem-Cola Primary School as the roof tiles continue to leak, causing rainwater to fall on students. The deplorable conditions of the school buildings have made it difficult for the students to concentrate on their studies. What steps does the Government intend to take to resolve the dire situation?

Fear and anxiety in the minds of General Public due to fraud complaints being filed without ID proof in various departments. I request the authorities to ask for ID proof from all complainants, both in government departments and general cases, to ensure credibility and prevent misuse.
