“This House unanimously resolves the Government to address the pressing issue of unemployment in the State by urging the Government to adopt and implement comprehensive policies aimed at creating sustainable job opportunities in both the private and public sectors, while ensuring that Goans are prioritized and safeguarded through mechanisms that uphold fairness, equality, and justice.

“This House  resolves that due to the peculiar circumstances  by which Goa, Daman & Diu came to be liberated from Portugal and the consequent conferment of Indian citizenship on those erstwhile Portuguese nationals, the Government of India be requested to permit dual citizenship to those covered by the Goa, Daman & Diu Citizenship Order and who have since registered their births in Portugal by virtue of the Portuguese Nationality Law as in force and until such time, those who were under such belief that they had not acquired foreign citizenship by mere registration of their births in Portugal, be permitted to cancel their Indian passports and obtain OCI cards”.

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.

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.”
