'Sanjivani Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana' (Goa's only sugar factory) was set up in 1972 by the first Chief Minister of Goa Dayanand Bandodkar at Dharbandora in south ...

This had given hope to sugarcane farmers that the factory will grow and they will get good opportunities to sell their produce. "Promised the All Goa Sugarcane Farmers Association that I'll voice their issues in the assembly session. "We have demanded that the sugar factory should be started immediately, otherwise we will suffer," he said. But in recent years, the production has dropped. Desai said that this year also, the production will drop as the farmers have lost interest as the factory is not starting operations. I want to address financial and production problems and have to ponder on which requirement we can convert positivity by ensuring generation of all products. According to reports, in 2017-18 around 789.48 ha land was under cultivation, with the engagement of 955 farmers producing 47,503.723 tonnes of sugarcane. "Government helped us for only one year to deal with traders or sugar factories from neighbouring states to purchase our sugarcane. It had an excellent track record at the initial stage with many farmers engaged to take production of this crop. Traders have come to know the situation we are going through," Desai said. My own sugarcane is yet to be harvested as there is no taker," he said. "They give oral assurances and once the sugarcane is harvested they don't keep their word.

MARGAO: Be it the Konkani movement or the more recent Regional Plan 2021, one magazine has weathered the storms of forced change to stay a crusader for the ...

Fausto said that they have put in all their efforts to see that Gulab survives and continues its mission, one month at a time, with the hope that it sustains in the service of Goa, Konkani and its writers and readers. The editor remarked that the new generation, whose literary tastes are varied, extensive and for the most part, digital, should realise the importance of a magazine like Gulab. Gulab has now stepped into the 41st year of uninterrupted publication and the task has been shared almost equally among the brothers. Gulab has fought a number of battles for Goa and Konkani, be it during the Konkani language agitation, Goa’s Official Language Bill, Metastrips, the Nylon 6,6 agitation, Goa Regional Plan 2021 and FrBismarque’s mysterious death, to name a few. He said publishing Gulab is altogether a different experience and he finds it hard to believe that they have successfully sailed through all the storms and kept the publication going strong for four decades. A coloured monthly magazine in Romani Konkani script, Gulab (Rose) has taken up the responsibility of steering Goans in the right direction for the past 40 years, despite many struggles.

Has Goa done justice to its historic Opinion Poll victory of January 16, 1967?

We are now on the verge of losing culture as fallout of Goa being promoted as drug and sex tourist destination Goa has a distinct identity related to the world. However we are now on the verge of losing the culture as fallout of Goa being promoted as drug and sex tourist destination. Mhadei diversion has to be stopped and we have to bury differences to come togetherToday’s burning issue of Mhadei diversion water has to be resolved to save Goa the way our earlier population saved Goa. We have to bury our differences and have to come together to save Goa and that is the best remembrance of the Opening Poll. In my opinion the intentions of the crusaders of Opinion Poll led by then Leader of Opposition Dr Jack de Sequeira have been betrayed by politicians and elected representatives of every political party. We have not been able to preserve our cultureThe people of Goa voted against the merger and the State continued as Union Territory till we attained Statehood after Konkani was made an Official Language. We have been successful in keeping the unique identity of Goa across the WorldIt was a referendum initiated by the Government of India to decide whether the people of Goa want a separate Union Territory or to merge with Maharashtra. Every election is an Opinion Poll and we Goans have missed the busWe won the Opinion Poll by the skin of our teeth you can say. Goa is yet to tell its beautiful story to the worldGoans have always been a mirror to the country at large showcasing how diverse people and religions can live together amicably and how they can keep exchanging cultures amidst the same. But unplanned development for the greed of money is the order of the day. Today, there has been a disturbance in culture and identity because of various immigrants settling in Goa from various parts of India. But the people of Goa decided that Goa should be a Goa and its culture which had developed uniformly after 450 years of Portuguese rule should be maintained in the larger interest.
