Early life
Manoj Parab, originally named Tukaram Bharat Parab[8] was born on 18 August 1985 in the village of Pirna, Goa.[9] His father, Borot Panduronga Porobo (later Bharat Panduronga Parab),[10] was a tabla craftsman and repairer, as well as a businessman.[11] Parab's paternal grandparents, Panduronga Crisna Porobo, originated from the village of Revora, while Rucmin hailed from Salem, Bicholim. Both of them worked as farmers. Eventually, the family relocated to Pirna, Goa when Parab's father was born.[10] Parab pursued his early education at a Catholic school before furthering his academic journey. In 2008, he successfully completed his Master of Science degree in Geology from Goa University.[12]
Following his graduation, Parab ventured into the professional world by seeking employment with various companies operated by local mining magnates such as the Timblos, Salgaocars, and Vedanta Resources. However, driven by the pursuit of improved remuneration, Parab decided to relocate from Goa. Consequently, he found employment on offshore oil rigs located in Mumbai and Gujarat.[11]

Meet with regional parties leaders
In October 2022, Parab made an announcement regarding the party's approach to engaging with leaders from regional parties across the country.[23] During a press conference in Panaji, Parab emphasized the RGP's commitment to its ideology and expressed its intention to reintroduce the POGO Bill in the state legislative assembly. Parab also held meetings with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray in Mumbai. Parab clarified that the RGP maintains its independence from any specific political party and positioned itself as the principal opposition to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming 2027 Goa assembly polls. He further emphasized that the contest would primarily involve the RGP and the BJP. Parab remarked that the Revolutionary Goans Party has developed its own distinctive revolutionary model, differentiating itself from the approach of the Shiv Sena (SHS).[24]
Personal life
In a 2022 interview with Outlook, Parab recounted his personal experience, highlighting the challenges faced by many Goans when it comes to property ownership. He mentioned that he and his family had been residing in the census town of Colvale on a rental basis for around 20–25 years before relocating to Bicholim, where they acquired their own apartment. Parab expressed a sense of sadness regarding this aspect of his journey, emphasizing that his story resonates with numerous Goans who encounter difficulties in purchasing property. As residents of Goa, they are often constrained to renting accommodations or frequently changing their place of residence.[11]
On 9 December 2022, Parab married Veena Parab (
