The genesis

• The western ghats and the west coast of India in
  which Goa is nestled has been converted into a
  stressed eco-region over the last few decades.
• While Goa has been a popular place to belong
  to, the flurry of building activity has only
  further tipped the delicate environmental
  balance.
• BCIL Gaia has been shaped as a model for
  development in this state. This unique set of
  vacation homes combines high comfort standards
  with long term sustainability.
