Renovate religious centres and their surrounding infrastructure
Bharatiya Janata Party · Goa Legislative Assembly Election 2022
Last updated 23 Jun 2026
What does this status mean?
Implementation is progressing towards the commitment.
Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will launch a scheme in the state for the renovation of religious cen-tres along with their surroundings to facilitate easy access for devotees.”
Our Assessment
On track, but not fulfilled. The exact name of the proposed scheme is not required where equivalent funded programmes renovate religious sites and their surrounding visitor infrastructure. The PRASAD plan for the Bom Jesus Basilica Heritage Zone at Old Goa provides for holistic pilgrimage-site development addressing roads, last-mile connectivity, sewage, hygiene, sanitation, solid-waste management, visitor facilities, safety and accessibility. Goa Budget 2025-26 also provided specific funding for construction of Shri Saptakoteshwar Temple and Smarak Mandir, restoration of the Chapel of Monte, Phase 2 of the Jain Basti at Bandora and development of a museum on Goa's temples at Verna. These are concrete, funded multi-site projects covering religious structures and their visitor environment. However, the PRASAD framework predates the election, and no approved evidence confirms launch and completion of a comprehensive Goa-wide renovation scheme covering the state's major religious centres and surrounding access infrastructure. Status on_track.
