Claiming that Goa is not merely about eat, drink and merry but is a treasure trove of rich culture, Governor Mridula Sinha has appreciated the tribal communities for preserving their culture in the State.
She was addressing a gathering after visiting the Dhangar community in Sanguem and interacted with the members especially with the women and children. The governor also heard their demands and grievances, assuring to take up the matter with authorities in the centre and State governments.
Governor Sinha later visited households and took an account of their lifestyle, health and education. She also interacted with the kids and gave them the message of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
She later attended a function of Unnati Samaj at Koynamol, Dudhal Kalay, Sanguem and felicitated meritorious students in the presence of Minister for Tribal Affairs Govind Gaude, Leader of Opposition Chandrakant (Babu) Kavlekar, Sanguem MLA Prasad Gaonkar, Rajya Sabha MP Vinay Tendulkar and Sanvordem MLA Deepak Pawaskar.
While addressing the gathering, the Governor said: "Goa is not merely about eat, drink and merry, rather it is a treasure trove of rich culture."
Appreciating the tribals for preserving their culture in a very subtle way, the governor added: "The culture of Goa is not different from culture of rest of India. Goa is as much as culturally rich as other parts of the country. The Dhangar community have cultivated and nurtured the land of Goa and their contribution in economy of Goa is of immense significance," she said.
During the programme, the governor inquired from the tribal community about their willingness to take up Charkha spinning, Pottery and Bee keeping.
