Centre notifies Act mandating political reservation for tribals in Goa Assembly

The Centre has notified the Act that grants political reservation for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) community in the 40-member Goa legislative Assembly. The Act passed earlier by Parliament mandates reservation of four seats for tribal candidates in the Goa Assembly for the first time. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant recently met Union Home Minister Amit Shah urging him to expedite the process of reservation for the ST community in the Assembly, which will go to polls early next year. Sawant expressed his “deep gratitude” to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. Tribal leader and BJP MLA Govind Gaude called it a big victory of social justice movement.

For the past four-and-a-half years, we have travelled across India to bring to our readers the ‘Unknown, Lesser-Known Tribal Life’, which rarely finds space in the mainstream media.

We have done this without external funding, driven only by our conviction that India’s tribal heritage deserves to be documented with dignity, depth and authenticity.

If you like our work, and if it has informed, inspired or helped you understand India’s tribal/indigenous communities better, we invite you to become a part of this mission.

Your contribution will not merely fund a news platform. It will help preserve voices, traditions, histories and aspirations that form an invaluable part of India’s identity.

Because when an untold story is documented, a piece of India’s heritage is preserved forever.

Thanks
