Margao Dec 21: In order to promote Konkani language and bring all the Konkani Roman script writers under one roof, the Dalgado Konknni Academy (DKA) organised a Konkani musical show, Konknni Sangitachi Ek Sanz, at the Holy Spirit Church ground, Margao recently.Thousands of well wishers of Konkani gathered at the Holy Spirit Church grounds at Margao to witness the grand musical show.
Mr Jerome Mendes, the chief guest on the occasion, stated that Konkani in Roman script must be promoted.
Speaking on the occasion, the president of the DKA, Mr Tomazinho Cardoso stated that the motive behind presenting the musical show was to safeguard the Goan identity.
He also said that the Akademi�s main intention was to bring all the scattered Konkani Roman script lovers together.
Mr Cardoso further informed that Goans all over the world are easily identified through Konkani language. �And after a period of long silence, the Dalgado Konknni Academy has been once again resurrected in order to revive the Konkani language,� he added.
Writers of Konkani in Roman script are totally neglected. They get no financial backing for their creative works. Dalgado Konknni Akademi will financially back them, Mr Cardozo assured.
Speaking further, he said, �because of the imposition of one particular script, many Goans, particularly well wishers of Roman script, go away from Konkani.�
�In doing so, they are going away from their Goan identity,� he said adding,� Dalgado Konknni Akademi aims at strengthening Goan identity in Goans through Konkani language irrespective of the script.�
For Goan identity, one needs love for Konkani language be it in Roman, Devnagiri or Kannad script, he concluded.
Mr Mendes announced donation of Rs 50,000 to the Akademi and assured that 7 of his family members will contribute Rs 5,000 each to make the total contribution to Rs. 85,000.
On this occasion 20 senior artistes, who excelled themselves in Konkani music, song, dance and literature, were felicitated at the hands of the chief guest.
Annual magazine of the Akademi Pormoll was also released at the hands of Ms Leonara Mendes.
Goan Touch with Shaaron Mazarello opened the curtain of Konknni Sangitachi Ek Sanz with lively music.
