Thank you, Shri @NitinNabin ji, for your kind words and encouragement in recognising Goa’s rich tribal heritage. ‘Forest Recipes of Goa’ is a heartfelt effort to document and preserve the age-old culinary traditions and indigenous knowledge of our tribal forest communities.
Goa’s forests hold stories that go far beyond their landscapes. It was a pleasure to receive ‘Forest Recipes of Goa’, a coffee table book published by the Goa Forest Development Corporation. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Goa’s tribal forest communities, documenting their traditional recipes, rituals, and deep-rooted relationship with nature. A valuable initiative to preserve and celebrate Goa’s rich tribal heritage, ensuring these age-old traditions continue to inspire future generations. @draneofficial

A foundation stone was laid for the improvement of the existing road from Gokuldas Gawas’ house to Tukaram Gawas’ house at Zarme, with an investment of ₹1 crore. The project will upgrade the existing kaccha road through slope correction, a strengthened laterite stone surface and the construction of PCC and RCC retaining walls to stabilise the adjoining embankment and prevent soil erosion. These essential improvements will help address monsoon-related risks, enhance road safety and ensure more reliable, all-weather connectivity for the local community. Sincere thanks to the BJP-led Government and the Public Works Department (PWD) for their continued commitment to strengthening rural infrastructure and ensuring safer, more reliable connectivity for our villages. With sustained support and focused efforts, we continue to turn local needs into meaningful development on the ground.

Better connectivity begins with safer, well-lit roads. The foundation stone has been laid for three streetlight projects covering the stretches from Thane–Golauli Junction to Golauli village (Pillai Houses), Thane–Kajryakadil Junction to Hivre village, and Charavane–Hivre Junction to Charavane village. With a combined investment of ₹30.63 lakh, these works will bring 140 LED streetlights and 4 km of new streetlight lines to the area, improving nighttime visibility, road safety and convenience for residents. This progress reflects the BJP-led Government’s commitment to strengthening essential infrastructure and addressing the everyday needs of our villages. Sincere gratitude to the government for its continued support in turning local requirements into meaningful development on the ground. #Sattari #GoaDevelopment #BJPGoa #InfrastructureDevelopment #ViksitGoa

A new chapter in learning and digital empowerment for Mauxi, as we inaugurated the renovated Village Panchayat Library with an investment of ₹15 lakh under the Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment 2023–24 for Children and Adolescents’ Libraries and Digital Infrastructure. Inspired by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji to empower citizens through education, technology and access to knowledge, this initiative reflects the continued focus of the BJP-led Government on bringing development to the grassroots and ensuring that the benefits of government schemes reach our people. The renovation includes civil works, furniture, electrical improvements, and the provision of computers and a television, creating a more welcoming and technology-enabled learning space. This library will provide children, adolescents and students with opportunities to read, explore digital resources, strengthen their knowledge and develop essential computer skills. It will encourage a culture of reading, support academic learning and open new avenues for digital literacy and self-development. #Mauxi #DigitalIndia #BJPGoa #EducationForAll #GoaDevelopment

A significant step towards strengthening waste management in Sattari, the ₹25 lakh Material Recovery Facility at Village Panchayat Mauxi is now inaugurated under the Swachh Bharat Mission 2.0 (Gramin), bringing us closer to a cleaner and more sustainable village. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, who has consistently emphasised that cleanliness is a collective responsibility, this initiative marks another step towards strengthening scientific waste management at the grassroots. The facility will support the systematic segregation, sorting and recovery of recyclable waste, helping reduce waste sent to dumping sites, minimise environmental pollution and promote responsible waste disposal practices. Swachhata is not just a mission; it is a people's movement. Together, let us build a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Goa! #SwachhBharatMission #Mauxi #CleanGoa #WasteManagement #GoaDevelopment

This work aims to improve the surrounding space, provide better facilities for devotees and community members, and ensure that this important local place remains well-maintained and accessible for religious and community activities. Our temples and their surroundings are an integral part of our cultural identity and community life. Improving these spaces is a step towards preserving our traditions while meeting the needs of our people.

Every month, karyakartas across Poriem look forward to Mann Ki Baat, an opportunity to listen to the thoughts and reflections of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and draw inspiration from the stories of people making a difference across our nation. Watching the 139th episode of Mann Ki Baat together was a reminder of how the Prime Minister’s words connect people, celebrate grassroots efforts and encourage each of us to contribute towards nation-building. For our karyakartas, Mann Ki Baat is more than a monthly radio programme, it is a moment to learn, reflect and renew our commitment to serving our people and our beloved nation. Every episode brings a new thought, every story sparks inspiration, and every month renews our Sankalp towards a Viksit Bharat. @mannkibaat @narendramodi @NitinNabin @BJP4India @BJP4Goa @blsanthosh

Every step towards better infrastructure makes a difference! The coconut-breaking ceremony was held for the repair of the existing gutter at Ranewada, Parye Panchayat, with a project cost of ₹6.75 lakh. This essential work aims to improve drainage, facilitate the smoother flow of rainwater and help address waterlogging, contributing to cleaner surroundings and greater convenience for local residents, especially during the monsoon. With a continued focus on grassroots development and the support of the BJP-led Government, we remain committed to addressing local needs and improving the quality of life in our villages. #Parye #GoaDevelopment #InfrastructureDevelopment #GrassrootsDevelopment #PublicWorks

Some moments take you right back to your childhood…🥹 Being surrounded by these little ones, feeling their innocent affection, their warmth and their unfiltered love, reminded me of the simplest joys of growing up. Beyond inaugurations and development, it is these little moments that touch the heart the most. Their smiles bring back memories, their hugs feel like home, and their love reminds me why every effort for our children’s future is worth it.
