Thanking you,



Yours faithfully,

BOOK RELEASED



The  book titled “ Two Leaves  and  Bud “ written by M.A. Chacko, published
by Crossword  Book Stores , Mumbai was released  on Saturday 15th  December
2018 at  the Black Box , Ravindra Bhavan , Margao.  Mr. Tomazinho  Cardozo
, Ex speaker  of  Goa   legislative Assembly  and  eminent  writer  was the
 Chief Guest and Dr. Susan Deborah  Assistant  Professor MES college,
Blogger and  Ecowriter,  was the  Guest of Honour.

The Chief  Guest  in his address lauded  the  author  for  his
contribution to the  literature  and   Dr  Susan Deborah   delivered  a
the   key note  address  giving  the overall view of the  book .

DrCigy C Bores  welcomed  the  guests  and introduced  the   Chief   Guest
and  Guest of  Honour . Mrs Cini Chacko  proposed the  Vote of  thanks  and
Tomson  Robert compared the  programme

 About the  Book .

Three  distinct  stories  weave their   magic   in the novel.

The first  story *The  Faithful  Husband* is based on the  Syrian Catholic
Community  which remained a separate  entity  for  centuries   together.
They were agriculturists and their large families   needed  more land for
their livelihood . They had set  principles and  pet  beliefs often
detrimental to  the  growth of society.  Their love for the   soil and
hard  work  they  put in was noteworthy.

 There was an exodus  on the community  from central Kerala  to   acquire
more land  from the Malabar   Namboodiries  as the later  wanted to  sell
the   excess land  and  escape from the Land  Ceiling  Act   to be enforced
by the World ‘s  first   democratically  elected  communist  government to
power  in  mid   twenties.

Seby , a  true  Sunday Christen, through  his endeavours , cunningness  and
chicanery   tried to  expand the   family  tradition. His ideology of self
above  everything   was  a  sage  in itself   despite   the  new order.

  The  second  story is about an artist and his pursuits for  art for art
sake. A mature artist,

charmed by the beauty of a rustic girl, selects her as his model, and she
encourages him and

complies with his requirements wholeheartedly. Engulfed and mesmerised by
her picture on the canvas, she wallows in an imaginary world   The
passenger  who duped the   acquaintances  who travelled   with him  as
narrated in the book looks  real and  natural. Chacko fluently discusses
the  interplay of  family , values, society,  marriage,  dowry  and
property  on the   day to day life of the  community.



*The Holiday,  *the final story , is  day in the life of  Raymond , who
wanders  through the old  haunts of Goa on his  day off. With his leisurely
pace and graceful  style, it gives a  kaleidoscopic  view of the  tourist
in this   multi- cultured   tourist  spot Goa.

The  title  of the  second story   is chosen as the  title of the  book
as  the title as the other  stories on either side somehow  coincide  with
the   middle  story, the  bud. The  first  story is  related to the past
and  second  more concerned  with the  love for  art  , the universal
theme. The third is the  mundane affairs  mildly  touching  Goa.



About the Author.

 M. A. Chacko originally hails from Kerala. He started as a school teacher
 and retired as the Principal of a Higher Secondary School after a long
teaching career spanning more than three decades. He presently lives in
Goa. He pursues his passion for writing. He is the author of three other
books: *The Circus and Other Stories, How He Met Me and Other Stories
*and *Those
Memorable Days*.

*Konknni Author Vincy Quadros conferred BalSahitya Award 2017 *



*Vijaywada* : ‘The wide spread percolation of modern technology and
digitalisation has changed the perception of the present day children when
they look at the happenings around them, today’s youngsters are seen more
inclined towards professionalism and hence prefer to stay away from the
present ground scenario. It is our responsibility to exhort them to read,
to think, to dream, and  to increase their level of intellect’ said A.
Sethumadavan, renowned Malayam author while addressing the awardees at the
Bal Sahitya Award 2017 presentation ceremony at Makineni Basavapunnaiah
Vignana Kendram’s Chukkapali Pitchaiah Auditorium, Vijaywada on 14th
November 2017.  Sahitya Akademi(SA) President, Vishwanath Prasad Tiwari,
Vice President Chandrashekhar Kambar, Secretary L. Sreenivasarao and Bal
Sahitya Awardees of all 24 languages were also present on the dais. Shri.
Vincy Quadros, renowned Konkani author from Goa was conferred the Bal
Sahitya Award 2017, for his children’s Konknni novel *‘JaduchemPettul’*.



Elaborating further on Children’s literature, Shri. Sethumadhavan said,
‘publishers were encouraging me to write literature for children, offering
me all the facilities needed, but it is so difficult to create literature
for young minds, and hence it has not happened.  Being a grandfather if I
cannot narrate a story to my grandchildren, how can I write creative
literature for children?’ he questioned, and congratulated all the award
winning authors of children’s literature. To attract youngsters towards
reading and writing habit, he suggested that their books should have ‘matt
finished’ paper, colourful pictures, good layout and lucid language to
catch their imagination.



The President of SahiyaAkademi in his address said, authors lead all type
of agitations and work for their solution but many authors including senior
ones don’t seriously write on children’s problems or solutions to the
hardship that children face.  Hence forming a ‘Children’s Agitation’ all
the writers should try to bring out a solution so that children live happy
and prosperous in life.

[Goanet] Manora Vikas Kendra: Reconstruction of Kendra's Community Hall

2009-06-19 Thread Vincy Quadros

NEWS ITEM



Government gives the grant to NGO's to help public.  The new hall at Manora, 
Raia 
would help the community to celebrate their functions and cultural activities. 
Therefore I request the Committee to rent the hall villagers at a subsidized 
rate. 
Said Mr. Francisco Sardinha while speaking as Chief Guest at the function held 
at 
the Community Hall of Manora Vikas Kendra, Manora Raia.



He urged upon the villagers to be united.  The things happening in your 
village, 
should be managed by the villagers and not outsiders.  Although there are 20 
constituencies for me, I will see that this hall is taken up on priority basis 
and 
the people of Raia who have always supported me will never be forgotten.



Manora Vikas Kendra, a registered NGO, working for the upliftment of S.T. 
Community 
of Arlem and Manora had  organized a public meeting to decide on reconstruction 
of 
Kendra's  Community Hall with Balwadi under MPLAD and oppose the new Hall 
proposed 
by Raia Panchayat constructed under GSIDC.

The following details were presented to the public why Kendra's hall is needed 
and 
why there should be a opposition to the new Panchayat Hall at Manora. :

The new Panchayat hall covers all the open space available for parking by Govt. 
Primary School, Balwadi and Ground users.

It will leave no space for the villagers to hold open air ward level cultural 
functions, conventions, Ghumatt competitions, tiatr shows, zagor competitions 
etc.

Gram Sabha of VP Raia has not yet approved their proposal but Kendra has got 
the 
issue resolved at Gram Sabha.

Town and Country Planning has approved the Panchayat Hall construction plan 
which 
leaves no set back to Kendra's existing Community hall and no access to the 
road for 
Balwadi commuters.



It is the only space for recreation for the school and Balwadi children.

Enlargement of our existing Community Hall would help S.T. community to hold 
their 
cultural and personal activities.

MP Mr. Francisco Sardinha has already forwarded Kendra's file to the Collector, 
South Goa with his assent for doing the needful.

General Secretary Mr. Vincy Quadros declared that Hall will be rented to the 
villagers at Subsidised rates and non-profit events will be sponsored free of 
cost.



Around 50 dozen note books of good quality were distributed to students and 
tree 
grafts were distributed to the villagers free of cost.



President of the Kendra Mr. Agostinho Barbosa gave a warm welcome to the crowd 
of 
around 400 people and Arlem ward member Mr. Menino Fernandes proposed vote of 
thanks.  Medical Officer Dr. Succoro Quadros alos spoke on the occasion.  
General 
Secretary Mr. Vincy Quadros compered the entire function.

RAIA SCHEDULED TRIBES FORUM
Regd No. 83/Goa/07
H. No. 12, Raia, Salcee Goa

To,
The Editor,

Kindly publish the following news item in your esteemed daily.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
Vincy Quadros, General Secretary. Mobile - 9822587498

The Parliament of India while moving the amendment to the Article on 
Panchayats inserted a new Part IX and passed the law called The Constitution 
( Seventy third  amendment ) Act 1992  and adopted The Panchayati Raj 
system.  Article 40 of the Constitution which enshrines one of the Directive 
Principles of State Policy lays down that the State shall take steps to 
organise village Panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as 
may be necessary to enable then to function as units of self-government. 
Accordingly, it is proposed to add a new part relating to Panchayats in the 
Constitution to provide for among other things, direct elections to all 
seats in Panchayats at the village and intermediate level, if any, and to 
the office of Chairperson of Panchayats at such levels ; reservation of 
seats for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in proportion to their 
population for membership of Panchayat and office of Chairperson in 
Panchayats at each level.

Under The Constitution (73rd amendment) Act 1992, Article 243 D clearly 
mentions provisions  made to reserve some seats to the Scheduled Castes and 
Scheduled Tribes at Panchayat level to give them sizable opportunity in the 
Peoples Representation Act.  Accordingly in the current year for the 
Panchayat elections, our State Election Commissioner Shri Borker provided 
reservation to the Scheduled Castes / Tribes and OBC's.  There were some 
mistakes here and there were understood.  Raia Scheduled Tribe Forum takes 
serious note of the facts revolving round the Directorate of Panchayats and 
State Election Commission.

Some days back Directorate of Panchayats had prepared a Report on the 
population of ST / SC's and OBC's in Goa and sent it to the approval of the 
Government.  Reliable sources confirm the preparation of the report and the 
nod of the Government is awaited.  This news has appeared in the press and 
the ST /SC and OBC community members were happy that the Government is keen 
in working for the betterment of reserved classes.  There is a provision in 
the Constitutional amendment to give sizable reservation in the villages for 
the post of Sarpanch and Deputy Sarpanch as per the existing population of 
the village under Article 243 D 4.  Accordingly the Director of Panchayats 
Shri Menino D'Souza  had informed the public that details of the same are 
already forwards to the Government in line with reservation for the lady 
members.  He had also mentioned that this reservation would be declared 
before the results of the Panchayat elections are out.  But till date 
nothing is heard from the State Election Commissioner and the Director of 
Panchayats.

Raia Scheduled Tribe Forum while congratulating the newly elected members of 
the Scheduled Castes / Tribes and OBC's,  strongly demand intervention of 
the Government of Goa to make applicable the Constitutional amendment and 
give due representation at Sarpanch and Deputy Sarpanch level to the 
reserved Community memebrs.  The allotment should be made as per the 
reservation policy made for SC / ST and OBC in The Constitution (73rd 
amendment) Act 1992.
