FROM THE XCHR: The Ramponkar Movement, which emerged in the late 1970s and intensified throughout the 1980s, was one of Goa's most significant people's movements, combining the defence of traditional fishing livelihoods with a sustained struggle for ecological conservation and social justice.
Siya Sukhtankar (Indian Institute of Management Shillong) is presently undertaking an internship at the Xavier Centre of Historical Research, Porvorim, where she is cataloguing the archival collection related to the Ramponkar Movement assembled by Braz Faleiro SJ.
