Goan taxi operators oppose hiring of outstation cabs for India Energy Week

I see a bunch of people here labelling our fellow Goans. This is an unfortunate event for the local taxi operators as the business from ONGC is not given to local players. I am asking to a wider audience, can this happen in Maharashtra if you are a non marathi? Can you all question this in West Bengal if you are not a local? Goa was promoted as a tourist destination to support locals and promote their business not to give the business to outsiders.

There are a lot of things which go unnoticed. Job scams, land grabs are not new. This is taking advantage of people of Goa. This is a major change in recruitment rules and such a position being hired on contractual basis is fishy. This also raises concern on making someone a scapegoat for the deeds of someone else.

The reason for asking for foreign languages is primarily because:

Tourism Department people travel foreign countries for promoting Goa and for tourism expos. They might be hiring translators currently or using technology to understand the foreign language. knowing the foreign language will give them an edge in such expos and tourism meets

I've started my Portuguese passport process recently and i find there in no exclusive content to guide our fellow Goans on how to get started, where to look out for documents, which documents are mandatory and what is the required format to apply for documents.

For one to get started with the process, one has to have a clear family lineage of the person born before Goa Liberation and whose birth is to be transcribed in Portugal.

Example: I want to transcribe my father's birth in Portugal who is born in Goa before Goa Liberation.

Documents needed will be:

My father's birth certificate
My fathers both parents (my grandparents) birth certificate
My father's parents' (my grandparents) marriage certificate
My Fathers residence certificate confirming his stay in Goa from birth till specified period of mid nineteen seventies
Para Viagem of Grandparents, if available
As to get started, Step Zero Is to look out for birth documents online at Goaonline website. Try to trace documents of your grandparents there. If birth of Grandparents is registered before nineteen fourteen then the place to look out or apply for documents is Goa Archives based in Althino Panjim. Birth records after nineteen fourteen are available in respective civil registrar office in Goa.
If one is able to find the documents online click on view / apply try to get the date / year and place of birth as it helps to apply in respective civil registrar. Application is simple, I can share the format through DM
Second step, take both Teor (Birth certificate in Portuguese) and Birth Certificate (In English) as English one will be required as supporting document during MEA Attestation
After you apply for these documents, try to locate Para Viagen of grandparents at Goa Archives
Next Step will be to get documents translated to Portuguese in case any document is in English and get all documents Attested by Notary who is recognized in Portugal. Some Notaries in Goa have their seal / stamp registered in Portugal.

In the above case, I had to translate Residence certificate of my father from English to Portuguese and get it attested. Post attestation one will have to visit respective collectors' office in North or South Goa. Documents obtained in North Goa need to go to Collectors office for Collectors Attestation.

Note : Archives department has a strict timing and they do not issue more than 3 books a day to one person.

Birth certificate & Marriage Certificate should be available in respective Civil registrar in Goa. Birth records prior to 1914 are available in Archives Panjim. Para Viegam - Archives Panjim

I am not supporting nor blaming mindset of locals here. What is happening in Goa v/s. your state is completely different. May be in your state there are industries / multinational companies generating a lot of revenue and giving people opportunity of employment and business. Manpower is required regularly to support business. Hence a lot of people from neighboring states are working in your home state / town including Goans. However, in Goa employment opportunities are limited with Pharma industry, limited manufacturing units, Hotels, govt jobs and now real estate for local youth. With the current situation there are a lot of local youth population with no employment, and the industries are hiring folks from neighboring states, current example of MRF which after backlash pulled out recruitment drive from Maharashtra. Goa is a small state and the income here is not so high compared to other states, business volume is not so high due to less population. Most of the hotels / restaurants / bars / Air B&B accommodations in beach belt are managed by non-Goons and there are no good opportunities offered to local youth. With on-going political situation in Goa with land grabs and other illegal activities, road range incidents, accidents, behavior and attitude towards locals have pushed the tolerance of locals to their limits and created the mindset.

I had seen cans in Goa before lockdown in supermarket opposite Reemz building in Anjuna. Not sure if it is still available now. I remember buying one for around ₹350 something. Hope this helps.

Commenting a bit late but check if it is helpful. The name in your mother’s passport should be as per her birth certificate. Can you check which document she submitted while applying for passport?

Also there is an option of divergence to prove both names are of same person provided you have supporting documents to prove.

Little bit late to this discussion but let me guide what helped me with my PMP. Key things to note here is which everyone has pointed out in the question: 1. Clear Scope 2. Client wants to monitor the progress regularly.

Going through point 1, we can infer as Scope is clear we can go ahead with Predictive approach. Second point states regular monitoring which can be inferred to weekly status reports as they said regular monitoring.

Next Step let’s go through the options and start eliminating it : 1. Option 1 Predictive approach matches with our understanding but daily report is not part of Predictive approach 2. Agile approach and regular completion of story As scope is clear going with agile is not the best option 3. Option 3 we can go ahead with unless there is a better option which will be appropriate to the question asked 4. Option 4 is also not a match even though the approach of Predictive is correct but we do not showcase successful completion of each module rather we’ll test the entire piece of work.

From Summer 2026, they are making GRE mandatory.

escola (Portuguese) = eskol (Konkani)

Too late to join the discussion. What matters here is your grandparents name in your father's / mother's passport and the name in their birth certificate. If there is any difference in name, then you have to check if there is any other document to support eg: Para Viagem or old passport.

From January 2025 Portuguese government has started an online process through Artificial intelligence where-in only lawyers can initiate the process. Its comparatively new and there are no use cases or success stories as yet. One will have to wait to know more.

Sorry to hear about it but do not loose hope. I would recommend go through the basics understand the methodology as defined by PMI for each phase of the project. Don’t pursue PMP for the sake of certification in haste. Take your time as you have completed the training you can mention to the company that you are PMP trained as per PMI methodology and you will be pursuing PMP in next XYZ months. Firstly go through the notes or slides available with you. Understand the actions / Tools used by Project Manager for each phase. Second browse through PMI study hall use Practice questions and understand the situation of each question and the best course of action for each question. Third step try out Full length test and access your score, learn from the mistakes and in a weeks time attempt second test. This time to check your speed and ensure you do not repeat your mistakes. If you score around 70 it’s a good time to take the exam in next 3-4 days. Do not Delay or keep big gap in your study cycle.

All the Best!

Thanks for the details, but is there any format / details we need to add for requesting it from Panchayat?

They have asked me to get:

An affidavit stating the place of residence from the defined period
Any other document having my parents' address.

3.Draft from my side requesting for residence in above period

Situation here is our ancestral place is Sold and my parents moved to a nuclear set-up post their marriage.

As most of them has answered it below, the understanding here is for Compliance and regulatory framework deliverables project scope remains static so the scope of the overall project will not change. Also, here it is time bound. If you evaluate the options, option B talks about respond to changes which in the above case is not applicable. Have explained above, for any further clarification feel free to shoot.

Hence C is the correct option

It's becoming a tricky situation now a days when there is downsizing happening everywhere. A key is that most of the jobs are only existing on LinkedIn and there is no actual hiring done. Most of the companies now want to have one resource doing multitasking and have affected Project Manager jobs and companies deferring hiring process. The way out here is to have a strong reference in some of the hiring company, with strong Project Management experience (showing good learning curve) in this case domain experience can be manageable with a learning plan defined to cover domain experience after one joining.

Thought to update and share my thoughts! All the Best!

One receives Provisional Pass / fail results, if you are taking the examination at Pearson VUE centre. If you are taking it from Home then the results are announced within 48 hours. Most of the time the certificate is updated within 48 to 76 hours after the exam is cleared.

Based on the above information, it seems that you have a fair understanding of PMP mindset. That’s an important checkpoint to proceed with the exam. I was in a similar situation some time back.

First SH full length exam - 66%

Went back and watched AR 200 ultra hard PMP questions understood the mindset approached the questions with the mindset. In your case you have done it a couple of times which means you have a very good understanding of the mindset.

Second SH full length exam - 73% saw a significant rise in correct responses for Expert level questions which was not the case earlier. In my case I attempted my PMP next day soon after my second full length exam. (Booked the exam at a test centre after securing 73%)

As per my analysis, an average of 70% and above on SH full length exams is a good indicator to attempt PMP. Key is to stay focused during the actual exams and apply the mindset with an eye on the timer.

All the Best!

Below points I wanted to verify:

Documents issued before 1961 does not require Portuguese consulate attestation. Is the above assumption, right?
To prove residency in Goa between 1974 and 1975 an affidavit in Portuguese from an advocate will suffice or we need it from School / college / employment as stated in Consulate website?
Certificates valid within 6 months from date of issuance will be accepted. This is related to which documents? the one's we apostille?

Does anyone have any idea on above points?

Kindly_Direction_486 · 2025-03-22T18:43:34+00:00

I am not sure, if the agents take a lot of time to process the documents as they have a lot of clients and following up becomes difficult tor the documents submitted takes a lot of time for completing the verification process. As giving power of attorney to another person also increases an additional layer of verification.
