Newly appointed chairman of the Goa Football Development Council (GFDC), Brahmanand Sankhwalkar, has urged for transparency in the operations of the same.
The GFDC was conceptualised by former Chief Minister of Goa, late Manohar Parrikar, when he had declared football as the state sport in July 2012. The council since then was led by Dr. Rufino Monteiro who stepped down as chairman in November 2018.
Dr. Shrikant Ajgaonkar, brother of the state's Sports Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar was appointed as deputy chairman but his term, too, expired. Without a council, there has been no GFDC meeting held after the one on August 29, 2018 and Sankhwalkar is eager to get the ball rolling post the Covid-19 lockdown.
