Raj Bhavan Goa under the guidance of Governor of Goa Shri P.S. Sreedharan Pillai has initiated a number of schemes for the benefit of different sections of the Society. One such literary scheme is “NAYI PAHAL” initiated to help new writers to publish their literary contributions.

Hence, under this scheme Raj Bhavan undertakes printing and publication of first time writers’ books, after scrutiny process, from its own funds.
