The Story Of Corlim Village
Nestled in the heart of North Goa, Corlim Village is a tale of transformation and growth. Once a quiet, lesser-known village, Corlim has emerged as a vibrant and thriving community, blending its rich history with modern development. Located in the Tiswadi Taluka, Corlim is strategically positioned near major transportation hubs like the Karmali and Dabolim railway stations, making it easily accessible from Panaji and other parts of Goa.
A Journey Through Time
Corlim’s journey began with its original settlements, including Calvaddo, Valvaddo, Igorjivaddo, Molar, Belavista, and Dulapi, situated on the southern side of the highway. The village’s landscape changed dramatically with the arrival of industrialization, particularly after the establishment of the Ciba pharmaceutical company. This marked the beginning of new settlement areas like Green Valley, Ravalnath Nagar, PDA, and Primos Park, which have become integral parts of the village.
Governance and Development
Corlim was initially part of the Carambolim village panchayat, but due to its significant contribution to the local economy through its industrial estate, the residents successfully advocated for their own panchayat. Today, Corlim has a robust administrative system with nine ward members, focusing on addressing local challenges such as waste management and infrastructure development.
Cultural And Natural Heritage
Corlim is not just about industry; it is also a place of natural beauty and cultural richness. The village boasts a beautiful old church and houses that reflect European architectural influences. Its scenic landscapes, including the sluice gates at Mangueiral and Bandora, and a natural lake between Dhulapi and Mangaddo, offer serene environments for both residents and visitors.
Looking Forward
As Corlim continues to grow, it remains committed to preserving its heritage while embracing modernity. Whether you are interested in exploring its history, experiencing local culture, or simply enjoying its natural beauty, Corlim Village has something for everyone.
