Surprisingly 8% to 15% of Goa’s total land area of 3,702 sq km is occupied by mining activity, but its contribution to the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is less than 5%.....

Apart from tourism, Goa is known for mining, especially Iron ore. But the state of affairs is pathetic. It is embroiled in politics with local politicians having a stake in mining. In fact with tourism and mining, Goa should have been a prosperous state, an example to others, but with mis-management and corruption, Goa hasn't been able to make it success story.

Facts about mining in Goa:

In the state of Goa, 7 Talukas of the 12 in are mining regions, but iron ore is mined the most in Bicholim, Sattari, Sanguem and Quepem.

Surprisingly 8% to 15% of Goa’s total land area of 3,702 sq km is occupied by mining activity, but its contribution to the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is less than 5%.

There are 91 active mining leases in Goa. They are all in private hands. Not a single public sector firm is involved in mining in the state.

Nearly 15,000 trucks are used by the mining industry in Goa to transport Iron ore to jetties and about 300 barges are used to take the ore to the ports for export.

Corruption and mismanagement by successive governments and companies, including illegal mining is the main cause of the present situation Goa finds itself in.

With Manohar Parrikar at the helm of affairs, most Goans feel a sense of hope. But will he be able to sort out the well entrenched business packed with corrupt practices?

With booming tourism and mining under proper government policies will boost the economy of the state and drive it on the road to success making it a progressive state with sound economics.

Rama in Thailand

You must be aware, centuries ago, the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism spread to Far East and South East Asian countries like Cambodia (earlier known as Kambhoj), Thailand, Indonesia, etc. Did you know that in Bangkok, it has a Sri Ayodhya road and Rama-I road. There are more such interesting facts.

Bangkok itself was established as the capital of Thailand by King Rama –I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty. It is evident from the history of Thailand that many generations of Thai Kings have identified themselves with Rama, who was regarded as an ideal ruler. And therefore, successive kings of the dynasty, have continued to hold the title of Rama with their names. The present king, His Majesty Bhumi Pol Adulyadej, is called King Rama –IX.

Alongwith Buddhism, the Hindu epic of Ramayana (known as Ramakin in Thai version) has excerised powerful influence over the Thai people. There is another Ayodhaya situated about 90 km north of Bangkok. Now lying in ruins, this ancient city, known as Ayutthaya in Thai, was founded as the capital of Thailand in 1350 by King Rama Thibode.
