The Government has decided to commemorate the significant and momentous occasion of 60th Year of Goa Liberation Day in a grand manner by commemorating it as a State programme with year-long programmes/ activities in various parts of the State and across India.
The launch of 60th year of Liberation was held in the distinguished presence of President of India, Ram Nath Kovind in Goa on December 19 last year.
The Goa Government has decided to celebrate this momentous occasion as a State Programme by planning various year-long activities/programmes not just in the State, but across major cities of the country including New Delhi.
The year-long programmes/activities including various competitions are aimed at showcasing Goan art, culture, food, and journey of the State in the past 60 years.
Goa, the tiny State in the Indian Union which attained freedom from the clutches of foreign yoke after 14 years of India’s Independence entered into 60 years of its liberation on December 19, 2020.
The Goa Government has already started holding talks with various States so as to honour and acknowledge the contribution of Freedom Fighters residing in other parts of the country.
The Government has appealed to the people to submit their suggestions on email [email protected] on or before February 10 till 5.30 pm. The whole process of compiling suggestions forwarded by the people is done by the Department of Information and Publicity which is appointed as Nodal Department for conducting the year-long activities.
Dr Sawant has made it amply clear that the fund will be utilised for human and infrastructure development. It is now responsibility of every Goan to suggest to the Government how Goa will march ahead by conducting various activities during the year. The suggestions would be the foundation stone for Goa’s path to progress.
