Select panel on MoI to meet today

PANJIM: The Goa Legislative Assembly’s Select Committee is expected to meet on Friday to discuss the crucial Medium of Instruction (MoI) bill ahead of the winter session slated to begin on Monday.

The committee, under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar, will decide whether or not to table the bill in the Assembly.
In a meeting of BJP MLAs last Friday, Parsekar had announced holding the Select Committee meeting before the commencement of the session. He was, however, undecided about placing the report in the coming assembly session.
FORCE has warned to intensify its agitation if the government fails to convert its 2014 cabinet decision of giving grants to English medium primary schools, into legislation. Whereas BBSM has demanded that grants to these schools be stopped.
