The Government of Goa Home Department has announced a special registration window for children of freedom fighters who could not register earlier under the government employment scheme introduced in 2013.
According to officials, the initiative is aimed at giving eligible applicants one final opportunity to enroll under the scheme. The special registration drive will allow candidates whose parents are officially recognised as freedom fighters to submit their applications during the designated period.

Applicants can collect the application forms from the Secretariat in Porvorim between March 17 and March 31, 2026. Authorities have clarified that the completed forms must be submitted to the Home Department along with a valid freedom fighter certificate of either parent.
The deadline for submitting the completed applications has been fixed as April 6, 2026. Officials have stated that any applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
The move is being seen as a significant opportunity for families of freedom fighters who may have missed earlier chances to benefit from the employment scheme.
Government officials stressed that this registration window should be treated as the final opportunity for eligible candidates to apply under the scheme, urging applicants to complete the process within the stipulated timeline.
