Panaji | September 5, 2025: In a heartfelt initiative to preserve and celebrate the contributions of tribal heroes, the Tribal Research Institute Goa is inviting members of the public to come forward with names and details of Scheduled Tribe individuals who took part in Goa’s freedom movement but whose contributions remain undocumented or unrecognized.
The move is part of the institute’s effort to ensure that no tribal freedom fighter is forgotten, and that their sacrifices are immortalized in the upcoming Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum located at Farmagudi, Ponda.
Deadline for Submissions: October 20, 2025
Those who have credible information about such individuals are requested to submit their details on or before October 20, 2025, at the office of:
Goa State Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation Limited
2nd Floor, Dayanand Smriti Building
Swami Vivekanand Road, Panaji
The collected information will be verified and, upon validation, included in the museum’s permanent exhibition. This initiative aims to provide overdue recognition to the brave tribal men and women who contributed to Goa’s liberation but were left out of mainstream historical narratives.
A Step Towards Inclusive History
This museum is set to become a symbol of recognition and gratitude, shedding light on the often-overlooked role of Scheduled Tribes in Goa’s struggle for independence. By acknowledging their contribution, the state not only pays homage to their bravery but also strengthens its commitment to an inclusive historical narrative.
If you know of any tribal freedom fighters—be it your ancestors, local legends, or community members—now is the time to bring their stories to light. Their legacy deserves to be remembered.
