 SITE SELECTION
LOCATION: This site is located on coastal region of Goa.
REASON FOR SELECTION: Aquarium requires to be located near coastal region.
One similar project is in Chennai in eastern coastal line.
So, it is better to have one in the western coastal line.
Coastal waters are unique places where we can experience, view and study ocean
animals in their own realm — feeding, resting, playing, traveling, and living in their
natural environment.
Goa's beaches have the highest concentration of plastic debris in India, says a
study by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi. Every metre of
beach sand in Goa has an average 25.47g of plastic. ... “There is now almost no place in
the ocean anymore that is not polluted by plastic.
 FACILITIES
SCALE OF THE PROJECT : Aquarium houses 400 – 600 species which includes

 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
ABILITY TO FOCUS ON SELF-CARE

Women often neglect themselves as they continue to care for the needs of
their family members and children. Rehabilitation can provide the proper
setting for a woman to focus on her own needs for a change.

UNDERSTANDING OF EMOTIONAL NEEDS AND RESPONSE

Women can benefit from learning how they respond to life’s stressors. Once
they understand why they sometimes develop self-defeating behaviours, they
can learn more productive ways to deal with stress, triggers, and cravings.
 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
DETECT AND DEAL WITH CO-EXISTING PROBLEMS
Many women facing drug use treatment have co-existing problems. These could include
trauma-related issues, eating disorders, or mental health challenges. These other
disorders require a treatment plan of their own. For example, a proper eating disorder
treatment can be an integral part of recovery from this severe problem.

EXPERIENCE SATISFACTION WITH LIFE

Many women who go through a professional rehabilitation process demonstrate a higher
satisfaction with life. They may have more meaningful and positive relationships with
others. Additionally, they may feel a greater sense of purpose in their life overall.
 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
ACCESS TO CONSTANT SUPPORT AND AFTERCARE PROGRAMS
Overcoming drug dependency comes with many challenges and the need for continual
support. Day or night, you can meet your challenges with unique tools that benefit the
healing process. Additionally, rehab centres provide essential relapse prevention and
aftercare programmes that can keep a person on the right track.
 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
● India is one of the country
where women largely face
abuse and being rapped.
 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
● The official statistics showed a declining sex-ratio,
health status, literacy rate, work participation rate
and political participation among women.
● While on the other hand the spread of social evils like
dowry deaths, child marriage, domestic violence,
rape, sexual harassment, exploitation of women
workers are rampant in different parts of India.
● Humiliation, rape, kidnapping, molestation, dowry
death, torture, wife-beating etc. have grown up over
the years
