Where in the Punjab?The only airport of note is Amritsar you need to check direct flights, else change in Delhi.
The alternative is train from Madgao leaving mid-afternoon arriving Delhi at daybreak, next day - then its a 5/6 hour train to Amritsar or wherever the nearest station is to your destination - Presumably you are visiting relatives - so this may be the better option.
Possibly the least hassle in Goa is to buy your tickets thru a travel agent.
There used to be flights from Wolverhampton direct to Amritsar - worth checking out.

Dear #1,I belong to Punjab,Stay in Chandigarh and also spend part of the year in Goa where I have a home.A direct train exists from Madgaon to Chandigarh(train no 12217,Sampark Kranthi)-it is however a long and Painful journey and it will be much nicer to fly from Goa to chandigarh via Delhi and Mumbai-many flights are available now .Please see any consolidator like yatra.com or makemytrip.com.

Given the distance , and your time constraints , you say you are in goa for 16 nights so i assume that you are thinking of going to the Punjab as a sort of side trip , i would consider flying !It's a good 36 Hours from Madagaon to Delh by Train , then from Delhi to Amritsar it's another 8 hours at least ..
