Message by Minister of Tribal Welfare
Shri. Ramesh Tawadkar
Poverty and exploitation, economic and technological backwardness, socio-cultural handicaps are some of the problems faced by the tribal communities of Goa. Alienated from their own lands, the tribal communities continue to be marginalised. The tribal of Goa have a long and rich cultural past and have progressively contributed towards the political, economic and social growth of Goa. Our aim is to underprivileged members of our tribal community with an obligation to make a difference in their lives and shall continue with our efforts to provide better services towards upliftment of Scheduled Tribes Communities of Goa.
Message by Chairman
Shri. Vasudev Meng Gaonkar
As primary settlers of Goa, the tribals have still maintained their ancient rituals and customs and are well connected to their roots. With their rich heritage the tribals have enormously contributed towards the growth and development of our land. Even after much advancement of life, the tribals of Goa still remain to be backward, exploited and vulnerable to social and economical injustice. Our sincere endeavour to promote and fortify the economic interest of our Scheduled Tribes Community, especially the weaker sections, shall continue with our co-ordinated efforts to strengthen, to support and to protect the tribal community of Goa.
