Chapter-01 Introduction Consultancy Services for Four Laning of existing Environmental Impact Goa/Karnataka Border-Panaji Goa Section of NH-4A from Km Assessment & Environmental 84.000 to Km 153.075 in the state of Goa on BOT (Toll) basis Management Plan under NHDP-III (Anmod to Panaji Section) CHAPTER-01 INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION Highway projects are undertaken with a motive to improve the economic status and social welfare of the people. At the same time, they may also create an adverse impact on the surrounding environment. People and property in the direct path of the road works may be affected. The environmental impact of highway projects include damage to sensitive Eco-systems, soil erosion, changes to drainage pattern and thereby affecting groundwater, interference with animal and plant life, loss of productive agricultural lands, resettlement of people, disruption of local economic activities, demographic changes, accelerated urbanization and increase in air pollution and noise levels. Hence there is a greater importance for careful examination of Highway developmental activities and operations should be planned and executed by considering potential environmental impacts. The Public Works Department of Government of Goa represented by the Secretary, Public Works Department is engaged in the development of National highways on behalf of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and as part of this endeavour, the Employer has decided to undertake “Four Laning of existing Goa/Karnataka border- Panaji Goa section of NH4A from Km 84/000 to 153/075(ANMOD TO PANAJI) UNDER NHDP-III”. Public Works Department of Government of Goa engaged M/s Aarvee Associates Architects Engineers & Consultants Pvt. Ltd as the Technical Consultant for preparation of Feasibility Report for, development of the Project. The project stretch excludes following reaches: • From chainage 118 Km to 125 Km (Kandepar - Safa Maszid) • From chainage 143.400 Km to 153.075 Km (Ella - Panaji). 1.1 Objectives The principle objectives of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environment Management Plan (EMP) are: To ensure the project complies with the National and State regulatory policies and laws. Generation of environmental baseline information related to the proposed 1 Consultancy Services for Four Laning of existing Environmental Impact Goa/Karnataka Border-Panaji Goa Section of NH-4A from Km Assessment & Environmental 84.000 to Km 153.075 in the state of Goa on BOT (Toll) basis Management Plan under NHDP-III (Anmod to Panaji Section) project for various environmental attributes i.e., land, air, water, noise, soil, socio-economic, ecological & bio-diversity of the project. To identify and quantify the significance of impacts of various activities of the proposed project with respect to the various environmental attributes. To evaluate the impacts on an environmental quality scale. To suggest necessary control measures to minimize the adverse affects. To outline additional control measures to be adopted for mitigation of adverse impacts. Integration of EMP to bid / contract documents and BoQ items for an effective implementation. To prepare a post-project monitoring programme for checking and regulating the environmental quality within the limits stipulated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) / Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB). To adopt the best environmental safeguards for an effective implementation. 1.2 Scope Of The Work The scope of the environmental report is given below: Review of National and state level environmental regulatory requirements on environmental aspects, including assisting PWD, Goa in getting necessary clearances from MoEF/ GSPCB in the context of proposed Goa/Karnataka Border to Panaji Goa, if applicable. An environmental screening and categorization framework for the proposed project to include the environmental aspects from the planning stage of the project. Location of the project stretch with respect to environmentally sensitive areas, and community concerns apart from the technical aspects. Conduct environmental analysis of alternatives for highway bypasses and provide specific inputs for analysis of alternatives and decision making. Establishing environmental baseline for selected attributes, covering the specific locations along the project alignment – such as major towns, junctions, existing bypasses, proposed bypasses, forest stretches, proposed quarries, borrow areas, sensitive locations (schools, temples, hospitals, archaeological sites etc.). To identify potential environmental aspects and detailed environmental 2 Consultancy Services for Four Laning of existing Environmental Impact Goa/Karnataka Border-Panaji Goa Section of NH-4A from Km Assessment & Environmental 84.000 to Km 153.075 in the state of Goa on BOT (Toll) basis Management Plan under NHDP-III (Anmod to Panaji Section) assessment to be carried out as part of Detailed Project Report. Impact assessment and prediction with respect to various environmental attributes i.e., land, air, water, noise, soil, socio-economic, ecological & bio- diversity aspects of the project. Preparation of Implementable Environmental Management Plan with budgetary provisions and suggesting post project monitoring plan. The objectives of such analysis shall be to minimize environmental impacts and provide specific inputs to the project during construction and maintenance. 1.3 Need For Environmental Impact Assessment Highway developmental activities should be planned and executed after considering the potential environmental impacts. To minimize these adverse impacts that may be created by highway development projects, the techniques of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) become necessary. Identification and assessment of potential environmental impacts should be an integral part of the project life cycle. It should commence early in the planning process of the project to enable a full consideration of alternatives and to avoid later delays and complications. This EIA report is prepared for Goa/Karnataka Border to Panaji, Goa project stretch for an existing length of 69.075 Kms (on NH-4A). 1.4 Approach and Methodology The approach for the preparation of EIA involves the following steps: Reconnaissance survey is undertaken in order to identify the environmental attributes in and along the project activity. The environmental baseline data in the project impact area was generated from both primary and secondary sources. During the site visits, due importance is given to identify the impacts of the project taking into account the contours of the project passing areas and other surrounding activities. Then, prediction and evaluation of the impacts is based on available mathematical models, empirical assessment and past experience in view of the net cost – benefit. Preparation of an environmental management plan is to reduce the adverse impacts of the project to the barest minimum. Conclusively, quantification of the financial cost of mitigation measures and preparation of a monitoring plan for the implementation of mitigation measures is undertaken. The methodology adopted is presented in the form of a Flow chart given in Figure -1.1. 3 Consultancy Services for Four Laning of existing Environmental Impact Goa/Karnataka Border-Panaji Goa Section of NH-4A from Km Assessment & Environmental 84.000 to Km 153.075 in the state of Goa on BOT (Toll) basis Management Plan under NHDP-III (Anmod to Panaji Section) 1.5 Project Proponent The Public Works Department plays a major role in the economic, Commercial and tourist development of the State of Goa.

  • GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa Tend to Think That Food and Drink in Goa Means the Famous Fish, Curry, Rice and Feni Package
    GOAN CUISINES Visitors to Goa tend to think that food and drink in Goa means the famous fish, curry, rice and feni package. And for most Goans these are indeed the three basic necessities of life -- fish, curry and rice. They combine to make a heavenly daily meal for the average Goan. But Goan cuisine, like the land itself, has many flavours and tastes with its vast treasure trove of culinary delicacies. The long period of Portuguese rule, besides that of the Muslim and Hindu kingdoms, has left an indelible influence on the original style of Goan cooking and this has led to an exotic mix of truly tasty and spicy cuisine. Most people who sample Goan cuisine, enjoy this different and unique style of food which has a distinct and unique combination of spicy flavours. A Goan values his food as much as he does his daily siesta (break). And in his daily meal, seafood always has a pride of place is some form or the other. From fried fish to exotic concoctions like ambot-tik, sea food is usually a must on the menu, except for the occasional break for some religious observance. Goans take pleasure not only in what they eat, but also how they cook it. Although modern conveniences have almost completely taken over in urban areas, the traditional way of cooking in clay pots on firewood continues in most rural areas of Goa. This style of cooking adds an additional smoky flavour to the food, highly valued by Goans. Despite the two schools of cuisine traditions influenced by the respective religions of Hinduism and Christianity; there are some meeting points that present an interesting harmony.

  • The Denationalisation of Goans
    Nishtha DESAI, Lusotopie 2000 : 469-476 The Denationalisation of Goans An Insight into the Construction of Cultural Identity* ristao de Braganza Cunha (1891-1958)1, henceforth referred to as Cunha, authored an essay, The Denationalization of Goans, published in T1944 as a booklet2. This essay gives a sharp critique of the psy- chological dominance of Portuguese culture over the educated people of Goa. It gives an insight into the construction of identities in the context of Portuguese colonial rule from the standpoint of an Indian nationalist. This is the subject matter of this presentation. Cunha, constructed a thesis of denationalisation, identifying it as the main obstacle for the development of nationalism in Goa. As a result of this essay, the term « denationalisation » entered the vocabulary of almost every freedom fighter in Goa. The Use of the Term « Denationalisation » It is not clear how Cunha came to use the term « denationalisation ». It was not a popularly used term, but one has come across being used in two different ways. Keshab Chandra Sen and Aurobindo Ghose have used the term to describe the efforts of the British to alienate the Indian people from their own culture3. The Portuguese state used it to denote those who expressed any dissent against it. In 1914, arguing in favour of imparting primary education in the mother-tongue, konkani, rather than Portuguese, Menezes Braganza asserted that it was the perceived « danger of * This paper contains ideas from my doctoral thesis, Tombat, Nishtha (alias Nishtha Desai), Tristao de Braganza-Cunha (1891-1958) and the Rise of Nationalist Consciousness in Goa, Dept of Sociology, Goa University, February 1995.
