President Droupadi Murmu conveyed her heartfelt greetings to the residents of Goa on the occasion of the state’s statehood day. She lauded Goa for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant culture, and the progressive values and hospitality of its people. “Goa has made remarkable progress on several human development indices. May this beautiful state and its people continue to prosper and move ahead on the path of development,” she stated.
Goa, known for its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is India’s smallest state by area but boasts the highest GDP per capita among all Indian states. It ranks highly in terms of quality of life and human development. The state’s capital is Panaji, while Vasco da Gama is its largest city. Goa’s historical connection to Portuguese colonization has left a lasting cultural influence, particularly visible in the historic city of Margão.
Renowned for its white-sand beaches, lively nightlife, and significant architectural sites, Goa attracts numerous international and domestic tourists annually. The state’s proximity to the biodiversity hotspot of the North Western Ghats rainforests contributes to its rich flora and fauna.
President Murmu’s message underscores the state’s achievements and her hopes for its continued success and development, celebrating Goa’s unique contributions to India’s cultural and economic landscape.
