Improving security of tenure for families, more than 100 Sanad Certificates and 20-Point Programme documents were handed over to eligible beneficiaries under the Mhaje Ghar Scheme, supporting the regularisation of houses and providing families with greater security of tenure.

The underground cabling and electricity infrastructure was virtually inaugurated for Betalbatim, Majorda, Utorda and Calata to replace existing overhead networks and strengthen the reliability of power supply across the four locations.

Speaking on the occasion, Sawant said, “The distribution of 100+ Sanad Certificates and 20-Point Programme documents under the Mhaje Ghar Scheme will help regularise houses and provide families with greater security of tenure.”

He added, “The distribution of 5,000 water tanks will contribute towards strengthening water security for households across Goa.”

The chief minister also congratulated the youth felicitated for their achievements in Science, Fashion and Tourism, saying, “Their dedication and accomplishments are a source of pride for Goa, and we remain committed to nurturing their talent and aspirations.”

Sawant appreciated the contribution of MLA Aleixo Sequeira towards the underground cabling works and commended the achievements of the felicitated youth, reaffirming the importance of supporting their talent and aspirations.
