In May 2020, four years after IIT Goa started running, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant handed over the documents of transfer of land (admeasuring 10 lakh square meters) in Melauli, Sattari, to the Director of IIT Goa, Prof. B.K. Mishra. This was far from the first site on which the government was trying to build the IIT Goa campus. Prior to this, sites at Canacona and Sanguem were identified, but plans to set up the campus in these places were scrapped after resistance and opposition from local residents in both these areas. <ref>{{Cite web|last=De Souza|first=Gerard|date=2020-05-07|title=IIT- Goa finally gets land for campus|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/education/iit-goa-finally-gets-land-for-campus/story-rZORjEQAPbelJ1YyHAYuDI.html|access-date=2020-08-09|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref> | In May 2020, four years after IIT Goa started running, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant handed over the documents of transfer of land (admeasuring 10 lakh square meters) in Melauli, Sattari, to the Director of IIT Goa, Prof. B.K.

However, protests by residents over the Melauli site which had started in February 2020, continued in the following months. In August 2020, the residents of Melauli organized a particularly unique protest, tying rakhis to the trees that the government had marked for felling for the proposed IIT Goa project. Reasons for opposing the project is that the site is a forest area. Located at the foothills of the Western Ghats, the land is covered with cashew trees that the villagers claim, have sustained them for generations. As such, they have been demanding that the government find an alternative site for the IIT campus, which will not cause as much loss to the environment. <ref>{{Cite web|last=De Souza|first=Gerard|date=2020-08-06|title=Villagers tie | However, protests by residents over the Melauli site which had started in February 2020, continued in the following months.
