History

Following the end of Portuguese rule in 1961, Goa was placed under military administration headed by Lieutenant GeneralKunhiraman Palat Candeth as Lieutenant-Governor. On 8 June 1962, military rule was replaced by civilian government when the Lieutenant-Governor nominated an informal Consultative Council of 29 nominated members to assist him in the administration of the territory. The first Council met on 24 September 1962 in a meeting open to the public.

The Assembly first convened on 9 January 1964 in the Secretariat building (Adil Shah Palace).[2] Hence, 9 January is marked as "Legislator's Day" every year in Goa.[3][4] In 1987, Goa became an Indian state and the number of seats in the Assembly was increased to 40.
