On 8 December 2015, Regina Martyrum High School was among the 11 schools in the state selected to have a robotics lab installed within their premises. The Science and Technology Department was responsible for adding the robotics labs, which functioned on a pilot basis. Under this scheme for the promotion of information technology and science, the schools received an annual fund of ₹50,000 (equivalent to ₹75,000 or US$940 in 2023) towards infrastructure, training, projects, and contests.[39]
2023 theft
In October 2023, an incident occurred where unidentified individuals vandalized the locks on the gate and doors located at the rear side of the school. During the incident, a sum of Rs ₹2.95 lakh (US$3,700) in cash, intended for student uniforms, was stolen, along with two DVRs valued at approximately ₹40,000 (US$500). The local authorities, upon investigation, confirmed the total value of the stolen items to be ₹3.35 lakh (US$4,200).[40]
In response to the incident, a formal complaint was filed by Miriam Afonso, the headmistress of the school, with the
On 11 October 2023, in response to the theft incident at the school prompted the residents of Assolna, along with the local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Cruz Silva, advocated for the establishment of a dedicated police station in the area. They expressed dissatisfaction with the existing police outpost, which they believed was unable to effectively meet the needs of the local community. To their surprise and dismay, both the residents and the MLA discovered that the Cuncolim police, responsible for a large jurisdiction, possessed only one vehicle. This limited mobility and hindered the prompt response of personnel in emergency scenarios.[41]
Silva expressed concerns about the inadequate staffing levels at the Cuncolim police station. He emphasized that the station required a minimum of 20 additional police personnel. Silva had previously raised this issue after being elected as the Velim MLA, but little progress had been made since then. He further highlighted the need for a separate police station in Assolna, suggesting that the existing police outpost in Velim is ineffective due to insufficient manpower and logistical support. Silva called for the division of the Cuncolim police station into separate entities, namely Cuncolim and Assolna, with the Assolna police outpost being upgraded to a full-fledged police station.[41]
