Calvim

Other wards of the Aldona comunidade are Quitula, Ranoi, Coimavaddo, Gutcoi, Udoi, Cottarbhat, Santerxette, Panarim, Naikavaddo, Castelvaddo, Carona, Lankdem and Panth.

[3] Calvim has an area of 135.01 hectares, a total of 113 households, and a population of 403 persons, of whom 180 are males and 223 are females.

[4] The higher population of females probably indicates the out-migration from the area, as is the case with many coastal Goan regions.

The village has a population of 23 in the zero-to-six years age group, of whom 13 were boys and 10 girls, as of the 2011 Census.

Four students of the St Thomas Girls' High School at Aldona—cousins Diana (8) and Elvina (11) Dias, Priyal Salgaonkar (10) and Nagel Gracias—were killed, with two women and a man.

Since the Fire Brigade could not drag the bus out of the river, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard joined the rescue.

[5] The mishap happened when the bus was turning on the small circle at the jetty, and accidentally fell into the river.
