[4] The Gomant Vidya Niketan began as a small library known as the Saraswat Brahman Samaj, but gradually expanded its activities and programs over time.

The organization initiated a series of lectures featuring prominent speakers from the Bombay Presidency starting from its founding, the region that is now the state of Maharashtra.

Over the years, Gomant Vidya Niketan has hosted a diverse range of lecture series and events, reflecting the evolving interests and concerns of the local community.

In the latter half of the 20th century, the institution emerged as a vibrant center for cultural activities, hosting a wide range of talks, exhibitions, and classical music concerts, primarily focused on the Konkani and Marathi languages and traditions.

The institution's facilities include a library on the ground floor and an amphitheater upstairs, which have served as hubs for intellectual discourse and artistic expression.

This project, initiated by local legislator Digambar Kamat and carried out by municipal councillor Shagun Naik, included the addition of a pedestrian walkway that has been artistically designed to mirror the appearance of a musical piano.

In response, Naik stated that the project was initiated following the required authorizations from GVN, and it was carried out by engineers employed by the Margao Municipal Corporation.
