Marra is a small village in North Goa's Bardez sub-district or taluka. It falls in the Assembly constituency of Saligao. It is surrounded by the areas of Candolim and Pilerne, among others.
Area, population
[edit | edit source]According to the 2011 Census, Marra has an area of 326.56 hectares, and a population of 516 households comprising 1,988 persons.[1] Of these 1,029 are male and 959 are female.[1] Children up to six years of age comprise 189 persons in this locality, of whom 99 are male and 90, female.[1]
Clean village
[edit | edit source]In December 2018, Pilerne-Marra village panchayat won the clean village award for North Goa.[2]
Panchayat
[edit | edit source]The local panchayat (village authority) in Marra is jointly run with neighbouring Pilerne. It has a presence on Facebook.
Local groups
[edit | edit source]Local activist groups in the area include the Pilerne Citizens' Forum, which has raised issues of local governance and fairness of decision-making.[3] Given the area's proximity to the fast-urbanising area of Porvorim, many land-related debates have come up in the region.[4][5]
