Panaji: In an effort to reach out to the public to create awareness about social welfare schemes, state government has decided to rent hoardings across Goa as part of its outdoor publicity campaign.
Government has decided to appoint an agency for outdoor publicity campaigns for popularising its social welfare schemes and programmes, and to promote important government events.

A number of VVIPs visit Goa throughout the year, the official said, adding, “To welcome them and to popularise their visits, government wishes to display hoardings”.

“For promotion of such events, hoardings are desired to be used. Hoardings may also be used for any other campaign as the DIP may see fit,” the official said.
“The number of hoardings to be rented/displayed/hired across the state would be 30 of different square footage at different locations. The coverage across the state should be approximately 45,000 sq feet on a per month basis (30 days basis),” the official said.
