Approximately 1,000 copies of the published books are printed and supplied to educational institutions, libraries, cultural institutions, and other relevant organizations.

The number of books published each year may vary depending on the availability of funds. Typically, two or more books are published annually.

Literature that is related to the cultural traditions of the state is eligible for publication under this scheme.

Authors who have already availed of the benefits of this scheme are not considered for a second time. This suggests that each author can benefit from the scheme once.

No, this scheme is specifically designed for authors who are residents of Goa. Authors from outside Goa are not eligible.

The entire expenditure on printing and publishing the books is borne by the Government of Goa, and the government retains the copyright of the publications.

The primary objective of this scheme is to encourage Goan writers to publish literature related to art and culture and to support them by covering the entire cost of printing and publishing their books while retaining the copyright.

Authors are typically required to submit their personal details, a handwritten script of their work, and a copy of their residence certificate proving their 15-year or longer residency in Goa.

Libraries and educational institutions receive copies of the published books to make them accessible to students, researchers, and the general public, thereby promoting the dissemination of knowledge.

The publication of their work provides local authors with recognition, an honorarium, and the opportunity to contribute to the preservation and promotion of Goa's cultural heritage.

While the scheme encourages literature related to the cultural traditions of Goa, authors have the creative freedom to choose their themes and topics within the realm of art and culture.
