'''South Goa''' is one of two districts that comprises the state of [[Goa]] in India, within the region known as the [[Konkan]]. It is bounded by [[North Goa district]] to the north, the [[Uttara Kannada]] district of [[Karnataka]] state to the east and south, while the [[Arabian Sea]] forms its western coast.

==History==
The [[Portugal|Portuguese]] established a colony in Goa in 1510 and expanded the colony to its present boundaries during the 17th and 18th centuries. Goa was annexed by India on 19 December 1961. Goa and two other former Portuguese enclaves became the [[union territory]] of Goa, Daman and Diu, and Goa was organised into a single district in 1965. On 30 May 1987 Goa attained [[states and territories of India|statehood]] (while [[Daman and Diu]] became a separate union territory), and Goa was reorganised into two districts, North Goa and South Goa.

==Administration==
Ruchika Katyal, an officer of the [[Indian Administrative Service]], is the collector and district magistrate of South Goa.<ref>{{cite web |title=Who’s Who {{!}} South Goa District {{!}} India |url=https://southgoa.nic.in/about-district/whos-who/ |website=southgoa.nic.in |access-date=25 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210325183859/https://southgoa.nic.in/about-district/whos-who/|archive-date=25 March 2021}}</ref> There are deputy collectors and ''mamlatdars'' for each sub Division / taluka.

The headquarters of the district is [[Margao]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://southgoa.nic.in/profile.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=17 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140528122315/http://southgoa.nic.in/profile.htm |archive-date=28 May 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

There are 205 revenue villages in South Goa District under 7 Tehsils (sub districts) headed each by the Mamladar.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://southgoa.nic.in/tehsil/|title=Tehsil {{!}} South Goa District {{!}} India|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-09}}</ref>

==Divisions==
[[Margao]] is the administrative headquarters of the district. The 'Matanhy Saldanha Administrative Complex', the collectorate building, named after former minister and social activist Mr Mathany Saldanha, is located on the outskirts of the city, adjoining the intercity bus stand.<ref>
