"The requirement of basic amenities like power, water of this urban area has increased considerably. I have got a vision to make Porvorim an ideal constituency. The face of Porvorim is changing and further development of infrastructure is in the pipeline," he said.
He further said to take his vision forward, cooperation of social institutions like PAC is very important.
