Dear all,
As any passionate Goan who cares for Goa, its people & our future & its merry culture, I would like to commend the valiant efforts of Ganv Ghor Rakhonn Manch for putting up a brave front that the majority now feels is in working. It is really truly heartening to see the number of people who are seeing the light and understand that the system can be changed and they have in it to change it for the better of our Goa & its people. Please keep up the good job even if you come across some idiotic Goans who have a wrapped sense of life and oppose your good efforts, in my opinion they stand for nothing in life and probably do so intentionality to save their surreal real-estate fantasies and with objectives to only confuse the situation n stall us from doing anything positive, they invite nothing but the wrath of the locals.
Whenever I get asked the question so where are you from? My reply - "Goa", to which most people beam up like a light bulb with the sheer exuberant beauty of the place and say.... Goa !!!! Wow it’s a really beautiful place jolly people you bunch'... I plan on going there again soon.
I sincerely hope we Goans realise how blessed we are to receive that harmonious response because of our famous beautiful state and its rich merry culture and hopefully they all will make it more beautiful by their presence and celebrate all things Goan, "Why sell Paradise when you own it" should be the motto instead of "Get Rich or Die tryin..."
Yours Sincerely, Rick C Fernandes

Congratulations to you on the wonderful work you are doing for Goa and Goans and thank you for all the hard work for saving our Bangarachem Goem from the Land sharks and the Builders. We have posted an article from Ganv-ghor blog on the rally in Calangute as we thought share this with the rest of the Goan World and our listeners. We would like to do this in the future as well. Please let us know if we have your permission to do so. We have also put up a link on RadioGoa to this Blog.

Don't you think that land mafia and land abuses are linked with drug mafias? If you think deep, the drug lords have almost bought the police stations and they are the cause of all our pains in Goa and name destroyers, IF the police / government do not accept bribery and run the country by the book and the fear of law then everything would be smooth running but would there be a chance of doing this? no way! Goa has been corrupted ever since the drugs entered in the country many years back, the government couldn't do anything about it then.. and don't expect any changes to happen now when the problem has excelled... this of course includes grabbing of land from the poor peasants who own a small piece of field where they grow their own crop as means of survival... there should be a deal or contract drawn up that IF they want the land then they should not only pay lumpsum but also employ and accommodate those owners of the land in their businesses without compromising..
Thank you Maria Gomes for GOA


In my own village of Keri, gramsabha passed a unanimous resolution asking the government to scrap the plans by CIPLA to construct industrial units on the Bhootkhamb plateau. This has not been reportedon your site.
I support your movement whole heartedly and wish you all the very best

Hello guys, Congratulations, to the Calangute front, for an inspiring meeting, my wholehearted support, and best wishes in all your endeavours. I am a Calangutekar with 27yrs experience in the tourism industry, and have travelled the world over, for first hand info on the travel trade. Calangute and Goa needs responsible tourism, no low-end tourists, who are parasitic, surely our ambassadors ought to verify a strong financial status of all visa seekers. Since I am now a resident Indian, I would like to join the front, in any capacity possible, please advise. Regards Cyril Dsouza, Naica Vaddo
