[Goanet] Goa State Horticulture Department Corporation’s (GSHC) subsidized vegetable scheme from Belgaum whole sale Market.

2011-02-18 Thread SANTANO VAZ

Goa State Horticulture Department Corporation’s (GSHC) subsidized vegetable 
scheme from Belgaum whole sale Market.
 
It was a huge celebrations and smiles all around when this project was launched 
but in last few days the department is crying foul and blaming the Vegetable 
mafia for the crisis, that means they were all aware of this type of mafia 
existence in the market and it will cost most of the vegetable vendors from 
Belgaum and other parts of neighboring Goa who are the key players in the 
market.
 
The above scheme by the concerned department is meant to provide subsidized 
vegetables to Amm Admi or Goan community? And also an rural employment 
guaranteed scheme, ( I am not sure if it is meant for the farmers who lost 
their farming land due to mushrooming of megaprojects and mismanagement of land 
by concerned authorities and land Mafias).HOW does it work??
· Is these vegetables are sold at such a lower rates at 
the point of origin that these outlet can sell at half the price as compare to 
other retailers or the department is buying at higher price and selling them in 
loss?
· If GSHC can get these at cheaper rates and put some 
control or these so called Vegetable mafias and regularize the vegetable prices 
all over Goa.
 
I can see the employment is granted but the subsidized vegetable for amm admi 
or Goan Community is an BIG?? Does any concern department has got any daily 
analysis of food items consumed by average goans including Vegetable, Meat, 
Fish and poultry products and also the Goan population against the non goan in 
the state?
 
This will be an interesting picture to look at when the government comes up 
with such ideas of schemes, the Goans are fascinated with their love to fish 
and other non vegetable food habits and for last couple of years goans are even 
opted towards western type of food at the same time they love their vegetables. 
Then why the Govt. come with an idea to subsidize only vegetables and that also 
bringing in from other states rather then encouraging our own goan farmers to 
improve and increase the production, grow various products which are not been 
practiced in goa and not to rely on all food products from other states.
 
If we look around the goan vegetable products has great potential, if the 
production is increased and encourage the farming community on goa, does the 
concerned departments doing enough towards goan farmers, they are busy selling 
and manipulating land records to sell and benefit their vote banks.
 
During this period of the year if you look around certain region in Goa, Like 
Agasaim, Verna, Curtorim etc. people still cultivate the traditional vegetables 
and will find some ladies early morning caring their harvest door to door to 
sell and some seats at some corners in the cities. Some will spent their whole 
day in the hot and dusty highways, (thanks to the so called by-pass), they are 
fresh and healthy.
 
During our childhood before 1988, my Granny and my mother and also lots of 
other families used to grow chilies, onions, which were enough for the one year 
consumption, we used to do two seasons   of rice paddy more then enough to feed 
a family of 8 at that time 3 times a day rice meals, and during the summer 
season we used to grow all kinds of beans and it was a party for all (Now 
thanks to the konkan railway and some greedy politicians for their own benefits 
they destroyed this land on “Golden Corn” once said by then Zonal agricultural 
office) , there used to be a Gram sevak in each panchayant those and he used to 
take good care and pass on the required information’s, do they exist now in the 
system?
 
We can see some few departments with CEO’s and Directors who might been 
selected by their political godfathers or they might be belonging to some 
political parties and who does not have any ideas and they don’t know what they 
were suppose to in their respective areas same as our elected people 
representatives.
 
My concern and a question to every Goan,
1. WHY ONLY VEGETABLE is subsidized and why not fish which is also a dying 
tradition in Goa,
2. What the Department has done to provide assistance to few existing farmers 
and to encourage and to promote awareness among communities of these products.
 
If we look around Goans pay any amount to get the fresh catch of fish, look are 
the Goan Bars who makes their good business because of Fish, people from Kerala 
enjoy their fresh fish as they have certain system in place to provide good 
rates for the local community and then only the can sell their products to 
other business ventures. Its happening ion gulf countries they are acquiring 
farming land in other countries, the time will come soon Goa has to acquire 
land in other parts of India to feed us.

To all Goa lovers,

it was good to have all your comments veiw about goa and non goans buying 
properties 
in goa, though it was not racist in any menner but lot of people took it very 
personaly,

here is another fact on Goa, check on this link and might get some more details 
of 
Goa what non goans wants to change goa into.

http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/002477.html

again this details are given to me by a western citizen who was in goa once few 
years a go and was in love with goa the way it was then and most of the real 
culture 
and nature lovers do apriciate goa as it was few years back and he told me keep 
"Goans should keep their identities by saving your nature and culture"

we goans are "Sesegad goiekar" fokot bhailim vorram dakoitat, we celebrate all 
our 
traditions all over the world and so some VIP's from goa are also taking a free 
trip, but in Goa practice all other traditions other then goan.

Re: [Goanet] British citizens buying property in Goa

2009-07-05 Thread SANTANO VAZ

Reply to: British citizens buying property in Goa (Gabriel de Figueiredo)
 
We goans don’t have problem when our fellow goan brothers and sisters buy 
properties or settled in other countries, as their government encourages 
migration and hence their government are obliged to make law as per these 
regulations and they will do that as they have good infrastructure and vast 
land and very less population.
 
Mr. Gabriel might not been in Goa recently or might not aware of Goa’s 
Demography, its true that lots of Goans by the influence of Portuguese and 
Africa has managed to find a new place to settled and are able to buy 
properties but some has to sell their ancestral properties in Goa for quick and 
more money to well known Goan industrialist and non- goans to obtain a healthy 
bond deposits enough to settle in western world. 
 
Selling Goan properties to such people was first initiated by these people who 
had a craze of going out of India. At this time goa was just liberated and Goan 
AMM ADMIN at that time was not able to afford to buy these properties and now 
when our generation wants to buy properties to our next generation after all 
hard work of Gulf and ships still we cannot effort the rates which are fixed by 
Land mafias.
 
Let me come to the point: Sancoale is the village in limelight ever since the 
ZACL or Birla came in Goa, a mega project called M-TECH is passed by Village 
Sarpanch without consulting the village member or even knowledge of some 
elected Panchayat members, thanks to the elected ministers and MLA’s. When the 
village come to know about this project it was opposed and has put on hold but 
the people who got or may get their benefits on this projects are still in 
favor and wants to get the clearance by force.
 
Being a member of this village I was not aware of any such project until one of 
my colleague a UK national who never visited Goa or even India in his life 
confirms me that he has bought an apartment in this so called M-TECH Beach 
village and this was happened due to good property sellers or broker are 
putting up their stalls in UK and other western countries to sell Goa in peaces.
 
Why Brits coming to Goa: this is what my UK colleagues told me. The cost of  
property and apartments is high in UK, in past few years very few people could 
afford and in next few years specially this generation who are in their 
twenties who still studies or worked as salaried they may not able to buy their 
own properties even if they work for 40 years from now.
 
My friend has booked this apartment with this broker’s office in UK just for £ 
37,000 and the same might have cost him £ 320,000 in UK and this was confirmed 
by my other colleague who has bought a property in Spain with similar kind of 
project and these projects are introduced by their governments, they started 
their first project in Thailand, Cyprus, Spain and now they are in Goa not sure 
if they have any places in India, this is to help their average citizen to 
leave affordably, there can be other factors also involved which Goa will be in 
worlds map as next destination after Pathaya or phuket.
 
The local community of Goa is opposing all these projects which are now in 
heart of every single village, but Govt. still wants to bring such projects and 
wants to support this particular project M-TECH, no doubt some ministers and 
their family might got their UK citizenship or just waiting to get a business 
venture with counterpart.
 
Effects to AMM ADMIN: no doubt all these mega projects will have all facilities 
and so also it will required lot of energy, water, electricity etc. a village 
like Sancoale and Benaulim enjoy good traditional sea food which is at present 
within the limits of amm admi this will not remain the same, vegetable and 
other food products will be out of reach of amm admi, although Goa is over 
crowded with currant situation, thanks to govt. employment policies and their 
vote banks, there will be more non goans will come to goa to work with 
Europeans  without passport or visa or green card and out Politian will be more 
happy to issue them a ration card within  minutes where it takes 3 days to get 
a birth certificate for a goan and on other side we goans will be running and 
queuing after agents with money and ministers to get a foreign visa or green 
card.

 

there are so many ways NRI goans can help goan comunity but not by selling goa 
to outsiders, I am sure there are many NRI's who are now experts on garbage 
bisposals and recycles this will be a best coause to come back to your home 
land and assist our goverment to solve this great mistry of garbage in goa.

 

dev borem korum.

Santano.
