A delegation from the Department of Information and Publicity, Government of Goa, called on Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday. The delegation, led by Shri Deepak Bandekar, Director of Information and Publicity, Goa, met the Governor during its five-day visit to Madhya Pradesh.

During the interaction, Governor Shri Patel shared that, in line with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision, he has transformed the Raj Bhavan into a center for public welfare.

During the first two years of his tenure, he visited every district of Madhya Pradesh, fostering a close connection with underprivileged communities. The Governor mentioned that he often joins beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for community meals at their homes, and conducts visits to villages—selected at the last moment—to directly review public systems through personal contact and dialogue.
Governor Shri Patel also shared information about Madhya Pradesh’s forests, tourist destinations, and developmental activities. He spoke about his experiences working under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, emphasizing the Prime Minister’s deep sensitivity toward tribal communities. He described initiatives such as Dharti Aaba Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan and PM-JANMAN as transformative efforts to benefit every tribal family in the country.
