From today’s TOI newsletter. Goa. The state became the first in India to stop providing subsidies to electric vehicles (EV) with effect from July 31. Spread over an area of 3,702 sq km, the state was home to the country’s first printing press — which was established in September, 1556 by Jesuit Missionaries and it functioned in the colegio de Sao Paulo at Old Goa — as also the first medical college, the Escola Médica-Cirúrgica de Nova Goa, now known as the Goa Medical College and Hospital, which was set up in 1842. It was also Asia’s first modern allopathic medical teaching institute.
