*Vincy Quadros felicitated at the 31st Conference of All India Konkani
Parishad*
Mumbai: ‘Goa is the only state in India with Konkani as its state language.
It is indeed a joy to see the work done for the development of Konkani. In
all their plans and policies towards the language, the Goa government
should keep in mind the Konknni speaking people living outside Goa’. This
was explicitly articulated during the presidential address at the 31st
Conference of All India Konknni Porixod. At the conference, the Sahitya
Akademi Bal Puroskar awardee, Mr. Vincy Quadros, was also felicitated.
The two day conference was held on January 6 and 7, 2018 at Scouts and
Guides Hall at Dadar, Mumbai. Grace Pinto, Managing Director of Ryan
Foundations was the chief guest at the function. The film actress, Varsha
Usgaonkar was the guest of honour. The president of the Parishad, Gokuldas
Prabhu, the key note speaker, Payannur Ramesh Pai, Walter D' Souza and the
other guests were also present on the dais.
While Grace Pinto called to support each other in all the endeavours,
Varsha Usgaonkar requested the Parishad to reach out to the students,
artists and the writers. Most of the speakers stressed that all should work
towards unifying the Konknni speaking people. Goans living in Mumbai
conveyed their love and heaped praises on Goa and Goans.
Vincy Quadros, recent awardee of the Sahitya Akademi’s Bal Sahitya Puraskar
was felicitated on the occasion. Quadros has also won the awards from Goa
Konknni Akademi, Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr, Konknni Bhasha Mandal,
Jivit - monthly magazine and the Dalgado Konknni Akademi in literature and
journalism.
The two day conference was well attended by a large number of delegates
from Goa, Kerala, Karnataka and Maharashtra. There was interesting
