the Goa Legislative Assembly serves as a comprehensive digital platform providing information on legislative proceedings, members, documents, and citizen engagement tools. Established on January 9, 1964, following Goa's liberation from Portuguese rule in 1961, the Goa Legislative Assembly is a unicameral legislature comprising 40 elected members. Initially convened in the Secretariat building (Adil Shah's Palace), the Assembly now meets at the Goa State Legislative Assembly Complex in Porvorim, inaugurated on March 5, 2000 . The Assembly plays a pivotal role in shaping the state's legislative framework, overseeing the budget, and ensuring the implementation of laws and policies that drive Goa's development.
