Establish hygienic retail fish outlets in major urban centres

What does this status mean?
Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will establish hygienic retail fish outlets with state of the art facilities in all major urban centres of Goa.”
Our Assessment
Partial. The commitment requires hygienic, modern retail fish outlets across all major urban centres. In 2023-24, the Directorate of Fisheries floated a tender for ten eco-friendly movable Matsya Vahini fish kiosks for distribution to fishermen, entrepreneurs, SHGs, cooperatives and associations. In August 2024, it launched a Matsya Vahini pilot with features intended to preserve freshness and reduce post-harvest losses, along with Matsya Aahar, a modern air-conditioned fish retail and food outlet built from a shipping container. Matsya Vahini vehicles were subsequently distributed to beneficiaries in June 2025. These measures deliver modern and hygienic retail access on a limited and partly mobile basis. However, no approved source confirms an operational outlet in every major urban centre or identifies statewide urban coverage equivalent to the promise. Status partial.
