Kushavati: Goa's New District Takes Shape

The Goa government is establishing Kushavati as the third district, named after a local river. Land identification for the district headquarters in Quepem has begun, with local residents vying for the headquarters. The government plans to seek central funds to develop infrastructure for the district's significant tribal population.

The formation of Goa's new Kushavati district is underway, as the government has initiated the process of identifying land for the district headquarters in Quepem taluka.

The district, named after a river in the region, will include talukas from the former South Goa district and is set to address local infrastructural needs.

Local communities are eager to host the district headquarters, while the state plans to appeal for central funding to support infrastructure development aimed at assisting Kushavati's predominantly tribal residents.
