Heartiest congratulations to Nandakumar E. Parab, IFS, on being conferred the Chief Minister’s Award for Excellence and Innovation in Governance and Public Service Delivery, in recognition of his outstanding leadership and commitment to public service.
During his tenure as Managing Director and General Manager of the Goa Forest Development Corporation, as well as Deputy Conservator of Forests, Parab spearheaded impactful reforms that strengthened eco-tourism initiatives, ensured financial transparency, and addressed long-pending audits. His efforts laid the foundation for sustainability-driven growth within the forest sector.
Under his leadership, several landmark initiatives took shape, including the Goa Cashew Fest—now recognised as a State Festival—and major eco-tourism projects across Dudhsagar, Bondla, Netravali, Salaulim, Canacona Nagar Van, and other regions. These initiatives successfully integrated conservation goals with community participation and responsible development.
The award recognises a dedicated officer whose vision and administrative acumen have left a lasting imprint on Goa’s forests, governance framework, and sustainable future.
