I was honoured to meet the world leader and my guru, Respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi. As a humble BJP karyakarta, I find profound inspiration in his transformative vision and tireless dedication to our nation.

His journey from humble beginnings to leading Bharat's development story resonates deeply with me. Witnessing firsthand his warmth and connection with people reinforced everything I admire about his leadership.

His emphasis on #NationFirst and #ViksitBharat for all has not just changed policies, but has instilled a new sense of pride and purpose in millions of Indians like me. This personal interaction has further strengthened my resolve to work harder for the party and our nation's progress.

Over the last 12 years, India’s growth story has been powered by the aspirations, achievements, and leadership of its women. From classrooms to boardrooms, from self-help groups to startups, women are driving change and shaping the nation’s future.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, focused interventions in education, healthcare, financial empowerment, and entrepreneurship have enabled millions of women to realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.

As Bharat progresses towards Viksit Bharat, Nari Shakti is not just participating in development. it is leading it.

Attended the World Food Safety Day 2026 Celebration, organised by the Directorate of Food & Drugs Administration, Goa, in collaboration with the Institute of Nursing Education, Bambolim, on the theme “From Burden to Solutions – Safe Food Everywhere.”

It is our endeavour to ensure that every citizen has access to safe, nutritious and quality food while continuously strengthening a culture of food safety across Goa. Equally important is our vision to take Goan cuisine to the global stage by promoting healthy cooking practices, enhancing food standards and building confidence in the quality and safety of our food ecosystem. The launch of the Nutrition Education Series, Eat Right Culinary Challenge, and Food Safety Training for Street Food Vendors marks a significant step towards creating greater awareness, encouraging healthier choices and empowering everyone involved in the food chain to become ambassadors of food safety.

A special highlight of the programme was the release of the Food Safety Mannequin, which symbolises the importance of FoSTaC (Food Safety Training & Certification) training imparted to Food Business Operators. It serves as a reminder of the critical role that hygiene, safe food handling practices and compliance with food safety standards play in protecting public health and ensuring that safe food reaches every consumer.

Goa’s rich culinary heritage is one of our greatest strengths. By combining tradition with nutrition, innovation and the highest food safety standards, we can build a healthier society while showcasing the very best of Goan food to the world.

On World Day Against Child Labour, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child in Goa has the opportunity to learn, grow and dream in a safe and nurturing environment.

Through our network of Anganwadi Centres and child welfare initiatives, we are working to strengthen early childhood care, improve access to education and support families so that children remain where they belong — in classrooms, playgrounds and learning spaces, not at workplaces.

A child’s future should be shaped by education, opportunity and hope. Together, let us continue building a Goa where every child is protected, empowered and given the chance to reach their full potential.

At the North Goa District Hospital, we launched the Home-Based Palliative Care Ambulance, a collaborative initiative of the Directorate of Health Services Goa and Goa Medical College & Hospital, with support from Defeat-NCD India Foundation (NCD Foundation) and Teva.

For patients living with serious illnesses, access to care should not be limited by distance or mobility. This service will help bring palliative care closer to those who need it, supporting home-based visits, patient transport and continuity of care, while reducing the burden on families during challenging times.

The strength of Goa’s healthcare model lies in partnerships that translate into better care on the ground. This initiative is another step towards making healthcare more accessible, affordable and responsive, ensuring that patients receive the support, comfort and medical attention they deserve, wherever they are.

Accompanied our Home Care team on a visit to a patient's home near NGDH today to review the services being provided and interact with the patient and family.

Hearing their feedback firsthand offered valuable insights into the impact that regular support from our nurses, physiotherapists and healthcare professionals is having on their recovery and overall well-being. These interactions help us better understand patient needs and further strengthen the quality of care being delivered.

The Home Care initiative continues to play an important role in extending healthcare support beyond hospital settings, particularly for patients who require ongoing care and assistance.

Compliments to our dedicated Home Care team for their professionalism, commitment and compassionate service to the people of Goa.

The Goa model of healthcare continues to grow stronger with a clear focus on ensuring that quality healthcare is accessible and affordable for every Goan.

Today, we inaugurated the 5th OT at the North Goa District Hospital, further expanding our capacity to deliver timely surgical care and reduce waiting periods for patients. Every new facility we add is ultimately about improving the experience of those who depend on our public healthcare system.

We remain committed to building a healthcare ecosystem that is modern, efficient and people-centric, where every person can access the care they need with dignity and confidence.

Ensuring that every person can access the medicines they need with dignity and peace of mind.

Today, the Directorate of Health Services (DHS), Goa launched two dedicated Inter-Facility Transfer (IFT) Ambulances, a significant addition to the state’s healthcare network that will help patients reach the right level of care, at the right time.

The ambulances will facilitate smooth transfers between PHCs, CHCs, Sub-District Hospitals, District Hospitals and tertiary care institutions, ensuring that patients who require specialised treatment can be moved safely and without delay.

When a patient’s condition demands advanced care, timely transport can make all the difference. This initiative further strengthens Goa’s commitment to accessible and affordable healthcare, while continuing to build a healthcare system that serves people with efficiency, dignity and compassion.

The journey of strengthening healthcare across Goa continues with the inauguration of the Day Care Chemotherapy Centre at the North Goa District Hospital.

Guided by the vision of accessible and affordable healthcare for all we are bringing follow-up chemotherapy services closer to home, this centre will help patients spend less time on the road and more time with their loved ones, while receiving the care they need in a comfortable and accessible setting.

A heartfelt thank you to the Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera and District Governor Rtn. Arun D. Bhandare for their generous support in making this initiative possible. Partnerships like these make a real difference in the lives of people and help us build a healthcare system that reaches every corner of Goa.

As Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji completes 12 years of dedicated service to the nation, Goa reaffirms its commitment to taking healthcare closer to the people.

Today, accompanied by our Home Care medical team, a home visit was undertaken to personally interact with beneficiaries and understand the impact of the care being delivered at their doorstep. Seeing the comfort, dignity and support this service provides to patients and their families reinforces the importance of strengthening it further.

Currently reaching over 800 patients through dedicated nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists and healthcare professionals, the Home Care programme will now be expanded across Goa over the next three months, with a special focus on cancer patients, stroke survivors and those who need care the most.

We are ensuring that quality care reaches every home that needs it.

[Vishwajit Rane @visrane]

Today’s inauguration of the Day Care Chemotherapy Centre at the South Goa District Hospital marks another significant step in strengthening the Goa Model of Healthcare and bringing critical cancer care closer to our people. A similar facility will also be operational at the North Goa District Hospital, ensuring that patients can access follow-up chemotherapy services nearer to home.

This initiative will ease the burden of travel, reduce out-of-pocket expenses, support caregivers, and help patients continue their treatment with greater comfort and dignity.

Heartfelt gratitude to the Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera for this generous contribution through its Global Grant Programme, and to District Governor Rtn. Arun D. Bhandare for his leadership and support. Together, we are making healthcare more accessible, compassionate and patient-centric for every Goan family.
