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.”

 “Attention of the House is drawn as regards to Sao Jose de Areal in Velim constituency  and Neura in St Andre constituency over the recent announcement by central government that 3 new Railway Stations will be set up in Goa at  Mayem, Sao Jose De Areal and Neura. There are already nearby railway stations and hence there is no need for such facilities for passengers. Hence the villagers are speculating that these stations are being set up to handle coal and other polluting materials and these areas may also be supplemented with port connectivity thereby spelling doom for the residents and farmers. Goa government is requested to discuss the matter with Konkan Railway corporation and central government and provide sufficient information about this decision. These proposed projects should not be given any license/permissions/approvals unless the concerns are addressed by authorities and all stakeholders are taken into confidence.

Attention of the House is drawn towards the future of Dabolim International Airport. The steps the Government has taken in this regard.”

It is requested that steps may be taken to denotify the MDR 42 at the earliest."

The sportspersons, Goa university staff and members of general public have expressed strong objection to this move and demanded that the lease arrangement be cancelled and stadium be operated by Sports department or Goa University as it is on the land that belongs to Goa University.

Attention of the House as drawn in the minds of citizens of Goa who are beneficiaries of various welfare schemes for senior citizens, handicap and women   over the highly irregular and delayed payments of their monthly fund often even after getting a message on their phones that fund is released results in unnecessary multiple trips to the bank and frustration and makes it difficult to meet their daily expenses including essential medicines.

I urge the authorities to impose a ban on the movement of these heavy vehicles through the affected routes and to consider diverting them via the Cuncolim-Balli-Fatorpa- ONGC route, which is better equipped to handle such traffic.
 

“Attention of the House is drawn among the students of various teacher education colleges of Goa over failure of government in filling  vacancies of regular teaching  posts and instead appointing teachers on contract basis thereby denying opportunity to almost 700 qualified teachers who secure degree or diploma in teaching  every year from various Teacher Education colleges. It is requested that appropriate steps be taken to ensure gainful employment to these qualified workforce and also ensure compliance to NEP which stipulates not more than 30 students per class.
