What happened to Herculano Dourado and company of the NRI Felicitation Centre after their 'touristic' visit to the Gulf countries? Whatever happened to the notes taken at the Dubai and Kuwait meetings of the Goan NRIs with the above delegations?
Were the issues raised filed or handed over to the new commissioner? Will the same issues/demands need be repeated to every person nominated as head of the NRI cell/centre/ department in Goa? And for how many years? Remember the issues often posted and re-posted by some are nothing new! These issues concerning the Goan NRIs have been raised when Dr. Wilfred D'Souza visited Kuwait, followed by NRI Felicitation Centre's first fact finding trip headed by Chandrakant Keni, later submitted to South Goa Member of Parliament Churchill Alemao through the Goan Welfare Society (GWS), Kuwait time and again as well as by other associations/ football clubs/village centres from Kuwait as well as from other Gulf countries. By separate post, we are forwarding copies of all the above memorandums to the new commissioner. The same issues/demands has been raised ALSO with the visiting Indian delegations too by the Goan Welfare Society (GWS) as most, if not all, are issues pertaining to the discretion and action of the Central Indian government as we are aware that they are not within the reach/authority/powers of the regional (state) NRI outfits. Will any action be taken on the issues raised since the last 10 years? Will the new comissioner find the Memorandums/Demands/ Requests made and regularly submitted by Goans overseas from the files of the NRI Felicitation Centre? We had presented copies to Herculano Dourado of the same as well as directed his attention to the website links. A feedback summarizing on the priority of the issues raised over the past 10 years or so, as well as action taken/implemented or whatever suggestions put forth at Goa State level/Central Government level, would be much appreciated by the Goan NRIs based not only from Kuwait but worldwide.
