HistoryThe academy was established in 1988 by Msgr. Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado.[1] During the period 1988-1992, DKA was very active. Fr. Freddy J. da Costa was the President, Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo was the secretary and Mr. Prabhakar Tendulkar the treasurer. During this period, DKA published 'Konkani Orthography in Roman Script' with the intention of bringing about a desirable unity among the writers, so that the writers could understand the principles and rules of writing Konkani in Roman script. Tomazinho Cardozo was the second president and Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes and Mr. Prabhakar Tendulkar were the secretary and treasurer respectively. The current president is Premanand A. Lotlikar, while Mr. Jose Salvador Fernandes continues as the secretary. There have been calls for the government of Goa to stop discriminating against Romi Konkani and officially recognise the DKA.[2] Aims and ObjectivesThe Executive Board outlined the aims and objectives of the DKA in 2004 as follows[1]: "The first and foremost objective of DKA is to promote Konkani language in Roman script, which is neglected, side tracked and given step motherly treatment. Konkani written in Roman script goes back to 1560. Without its Roman script history, Konkani would not have got the recognition by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi in 1975. It has the rich cultural heritage and it has become integral and unavoidable part of Goan culture, specifically of Christians. The vast majority of Goan Christians read Konkani written in Roman script. Hence it has to be preserved fostered and developed. DKA will make all efforts to provide support, financial and otherwise, for writers of Konkani in Roman script. It will work untiringly to obtain for them their just and lawful demands, dues and rights. DKA will recognize those institutions, which are working for the promotion and development of Konkani Language, literature and culture in Roman script. It will initiate various activities in literary, cultural and social field through all the modern means of social communication. It will provide financial assistance, and scholarships to writers, dramatists, talented important people, scholars and students to carry out research and other undertakings in the field of Konkani. Holding and organizing seminars, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, lectures, competitions of different types; undertaking and editing Konkani folk songs, music, folk literature, stage performances and other expressions of Konkani culture; Library and documentation centre facilities to the students, writers, teachers, producers and actors/actresses of Konkani; collecting and preserving Konkani documents, records, books and objects scattered with individuals and families which are related to the cultural and literary development of Konkani are other objectives. The Akademi will focus on promoting, assisting, and undertaking publications of children's literature in Konkani along with providing books or magazines in Konkani language to the libraries and institutions." ActivitiesThe main event organised by the Dalgado Konknni Akademi every year is the Konknni (Romi Lipi) Sahitya ani Sonvskrutik Sommelan (Konkani Literary and Cultural Conference) which has been held since the year 2008.[3] Apart from this, the academy bestows annual Konkani literary awards[4] and organises poets' meets.[5] The DKA also publishes a large number of Konkani books.[6][7] The academy also organises contests such as novel writing and story reading in order to increase the readership and simultaneously to inculcate the habit of reading Konknni in Roman Script and to instill the love of the language among the youth.[8][9] The DKA has ties with the Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr[10] and coordinates several activities with it.
