The state of Goa continues to advance toward a new phase of sustainable and people-centric development under the leadership of Vishwajit Rane, Minister for Town and Country Planning, as the Foundation Stone for the Reconstruction and Renovation of the Market at Tisk, Usgao was officially laid. This marks a transformative milestone in improving civic amenities, economic growth, and public convenience in rural Goa.
Modern Infrastructure for a Vibrant Community
The Tisk Usgao Market Redevelopment Project has been envisioned as a model for modern rural infrastructure. It includes the construction of a state-of-the-art shopping complex, a fully upgraded market building, multipurpose community spaces, and an indoor sports hall equipped for badminton and table tennis. The addition of public washrooms, dedicated facilities for persons with disabilities, and well-planned parking ensures accessibility and dignity for every resident.
Vishwajit Rane emphasized that the project is not merely about physical development it represents a holistic vision of improving the ease of living and supporting local economic activity in Usgao and surrounding villages.
Sustainability Through the Miyawaki Forest Initiative
One of the most distinctive features of the project is the creation of a Miyawaki forest within the market premises. This initiative aims to preserve Goa’s green ethos while providing residents with a serene, eco-friendly space for recreation and community interaction.
The Miyawaki forest will enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and serve as a natural retreat amid the bustling commercial setting symbolizing the balance between urban growth and environmental responsibility that Vishwajit Rane continues to champion.
A Vision Guided by Leadership and Governance
Speaking at the ceremony, Vishwajit Rane acknowledged the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the guidance of Hon’ble Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs and Minister of Power, Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, whose commitment to progressive urban and rural infrastructure development has inspired this initiative.
The Usgao project aligns with the broader national objective of self-reliant, sustainable development, focusing on empowering local communities through well-planned, inclusive infrastructure.
Economic Empowerment and Local Growth
The redevelopment of the Tisk Usgao Market is expected to revitalize the local economy by creating a central hub for trade, employment, and entrepreneurship. Improved facilities will allow small vendors, shopkeepers, and local businesses to operate in an organized, hygienic, and customer-friendly environment.
Furthermore, the project is designed to encourage community engagement through multi-purpose halls and sports areas that will host both social and recreational events. This blend of economic opportunity and social interaction underlines the project’s inclusive approach to development.
Infrastructure That Reflects Goa’s Green Spirit
Vishwajit Rane has consistently underscored the importance of ensuring that Goa’s development remains environmentally responsible. From healthcare infrastructure to urban planning, his approach integrates sustainability into every public initiative.
The Tisk Usgao Market Project, with its green design principles and emphasis on accessibility, stands as a model for future public infrastructure across the state a symbol of how modernity and nature can coexist.
A Commitment to a Progressive Rural Goa
The foundation stone laying at Tisk, Usgao, is more than an administrative milestone — it is a testament to Vishwajit Rane’s long-term vision for progressive rural transformation. By focusing on projects that improve livelihoods, promote sustainability, and enhance quality of life, the government continues to strengthen the bond between development and community welfare.
With this project, Goa takes another step forward toward achieving integrated, sustainable growth — a rural development model that mirrors India’s broader vision for equitable progress under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
