Goa Names New District Kushavati

Goa, a state in India, is getting a new district called Kushavati.

This new district will include four areas: Sangueum, Dharbandora, Quepem, and Canacona.

These areas are currently part of South Goa.

The main office for the new district will be in Quepem.

The name Kushavati comes from an ancient river that flows through these areas.

This river is very important because it has old rock carvings that show early human settlements.

The government thinks this new district will help people get better services and bring more money for schools, hospitals, and roads.

They also want to protect the area's history and nature.

Some people are happy about this, but others think the government should share more information first.

The new district will have its own local government to help make decisions.
