P.CTrust.Indebted, obliged to generous magnanimity of close relative of FATHER OF OPINION POLL.The corpus fund for memorial award of Dr Jack enhanced by 58000. to Rs 2,00,000.by a close family member .Further increased the award this year with Rs10.000.Assured also Rs 5000. = to enhance award for next two years.Promised to fund prize money of Rs 6000 ,yearly for next 3 years for essay contest by invitation on Opinio Poll,for a College and school in North / South Districts rotated alternatively.He has also initiated aid to a deserving and brilliant student scoring 95% in Std XII Arts by Rs 5000.Other Family members of Dr. SEQUEIRA have contributed Rs 45000 to the corpus...The memorial award scheme is to a very extent is primarily and generously supported by the family. The past and present politicians and prominent persons have completely ignored the appeal and reminders and personal messages except for one MLA of Salcette.The reasonable target of Rs 3,00,000= is a shocking disappointment as it has not been funded by expected public participation of main beneficiaries of the state..Nevertheless the purpose is served to immortalise the memory of Father of Opinion poll .It is collective wisdom of the movement under his dynamic leadership and vision ,Goa has been recognised as State..Statues, postage stamps, road signs ,musical tributes, Asmitai Dis are private initiatives to honour him though officially and deliberately ignored by those who continue to enjoy largasse of being a state and many politicians who have tasted power, fame ,perks and status would not have been even knownJav
