Born and raised in Ponda, Vishwanath (Apurv) Dalvi has built his public life through local representation, municipal leadership and party organisation.
Raised in a supportive, non-political family, he credits his parents, Dilip and Roshan Dalvi, for the values and work ethic that shape his work. His leadership began early — as General Secretary of GVM's College of Commerce for two consecutive terms — and grew through the BJP Yuva Morcha, the BJP Ponda Mandal and three terms as an elected Councillor of Ponda Municipal Council, including a term as Chairperson.
Today he serves as Secretary of BJP South Goa and leads Progressive Ponda, the citizens' initiative behind the medical camps, skill workshops, cultural festivals and youth programmes featured on this site. His approach is simple: listen to citizens, understand local needs and keep representation accessible.
