Mulyavardhan was started in Goa in 2016 under the initiative of the state’s late CM, Hon’ble Manohar Parrikar. The programme was successfully implemented in primary grades of govt. and aided schools across the state. In 2024, under leadership of current CM Hon’ble Dr Pramod Sawant, the Govt of Goa took the major decision of expanding the scope of the programme to middle school (up to grade 8).
