PANAJI: Governor of Goa, Shri. Satyapal Malik has extended warm greetings to the people of Goa on the occasion of Goa Statehood Day. In his message, the Governor has said, “I extend my heartiest greetings and best wishes to the people of Goa on this happy occasion of the Statehood Day – 30th May when Goa ceased to be a Union Territory and became the 25th State of the Union of India on this day.” “30th May is the result of the struggle by the Goans, for protecting their separate identity as Goans and therefore this day is of historic importance. In December 1961, Goa was liberated from the colonial rule but major controversy arose as to whether Goa should remain a separate territory or should merge into neighboring States of Karnataka or Maharashtra. And hence,, the opinion poll was held in 1967 the only referendum in Independent India which decided that Goa,, Daman & Diu should remain a separate entity with the status of a Union Territory. Thereafter all major political parties sought Statehood for Goa. It was on 30th of May, 1987 that erstwhile Union Territory of Goa was accorded status of State through the Constitution (56th Amendment) Act, 1987. This historic recognition besides raising the image of this erstwhile Union Territory, also brought added responsibility to the people to man the affairs. Today, we look back with great satisfaction at the achievements made by the State in different fields,” the Governor says. “Goa has achieved remarkable progress over the last few decades, particularly in core sectors. Significant headway has been made in the fields of education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism and development of infrastructure. Goa has successfully faced the challenges in the field of development with courage and determination, with a rational outlook and commitment to a value system anchored on work ethics and quest for excellence. The various developmental projects and programmes that are being initiated and implemented by the State are a clear and real indication that Goa is on the move to achieve great progress,” the Governor says. The Governor further adds, “People of Goa are awakened, enlightened and civilized, and have done a great deal of creative work which has elevated the image and economic progress of the State to the level it occupies today. I have no doubt that they know well how to prepare the way for the future sustainable development of their State. Goa has immense potential,, both natural and human, which can propel the State on the path of greater development”.
