The winner
The winners of Miss Goa 2014 are a state secret: almost as if VJT Arts and the Goan press don’t want anyone to know. It was after hours of searching that Indpaedia got to know at least the Queen’s name (but not of the runners up).

2014 was a good year for Kezaia Caldeira. She had also been crowned Grape Queen 2014 at the Great Escapade – the annual lifestyle festival that took place in Campal Grounds, Panjim. She has also completed her Graduation in Business Administration
