The GOOD, the BAD, the UGLY

Goa Bachao Abhiyan - Save Goa

June 28, 2007

Video is dedicated to the soil of Goa, which is being raped by selfish and greedy interests of Builders and Ministers promising a better home. In process converting Agriculture and Forest Land along with Coastal Regulation Zone Violations. This is a small salute to all those selfless individuals who came together to fight.

Even at this moment, there is large scale violations done by the Real Estate lobby, with greased palms of the administration. The time has come for us to stand and fight against them, using all resources. The builders promise a weekend escape with sea view to the affluent of the metros, not making them realize that they are removing the very essence of serenity and non-commercialization.

Its time for us to stand up, for the same mother who has given us so much, lets not lose it.
Special Thanks to Rajan Parikkar for the pictures.

TOO BROAD ROADS, GARBAGE DUMPS? NO THANKS, SAYS PARRA VILLAGE

March 2009: It may be interesting and instructive to study the way in which Parra village in Bardez has drawn up its Regional Plan 2021. While most other villages have rejected the copy of the Draft RP2021 of their village
sent to them by the Block Development Office (BDO) because of obvious errors, Parra decided to use the
opportunity given to it by the government for conducting its own exercise instead.

Recently, Parra's 20-member Village Level Committee on Regional Plan 2021 completed its work on the plan. The new Land Use and Development Plan drawn up by it is now put up for display at the Panchayat Ghor (village council office) and other public places for final corrections from the public.

Also accompanying the Land Use Map is a copy of the regulations that are to be read together with the plan and which have been drawn up by the committee after discussions.

Indian Climate Solutions Road Tour: Begins from 03 January, 2009 (Thursday, Jan 22 - Friday, Jan 23: GOA)

“A group of friends from the Indian Youth Climate Network and a solar powered band are travelling more than 3500 kilometers”

New Delhi, 3rd Dec. 2008: A group of dynamic individuals from across India and around the world are launching on a journey of a lifetime across the country to highlight India’s local eco-solutions, and empower youth on one of the greatest challenges of our time: global climate change.

Equipped with three solar plug-in electric Reva vehicles, a solar bus, a solar powered music band called Solar Punch, and a group of dancers from Shiamak Davar’s Victory Arts Foundation, these inspired youth are powered by a passion for their future, and the belief that “a set of determined spirits with an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history” as Mahatma Gandhi said.
