GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994) Will Konkani Academy claim total grant of Rs 15 lakhs by March end? HERALD REPORTER/PANJIM, MARCH 10 Will Konkani Dalgado Academy (KDA) be able to fully claim total grant amount of Rs 15 lakhs before end of this financial year (March 31)? The department of Official Languages is quite apprehensive about utility of full amount by KDA before end of this financial year. The KDA has so far received two installments, and balance Rs 5 lakhs would be released after submission of utilisation certificate for second installment, said our sources. The second installment was released last week. It may be recalled that government agreed to give grants to KDA after much persuasion and demand from Roman Konkani lovers. But, KDA, which is facing fund crunch, is set to lose Rs 5 lakhs if it fails to make claim for third installment with utilisation certificate before end of this month. Tomazinho Cardozo, Chairman of KDA said, they would apply for third installment shortly, and would not lose Rs 5 lakhs. They have not been able to make the claim earlier because though grants were sanctioned, first installment was released very late. “We received first installment only in November 2008 whereas second installment was received last week,” he said, adding they would apply for third installment, most, probably next week. www.oheraldo.in Goa World Goa Mog Goa SuRaj Super Goa (em Português) TGF Writers' Sketchpad www.colaco.net www.goa-world. .com/goa/ music/ - The Online Music Station for KONKANI Mahableshwar http://www.mahables hwar.com St. Mary's School - Mt Abu, Rajasthan India http://www.abusms. com http://www.goa-dc.com/flvvid/ikonkani.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTduCJkQNiQ GOA MAG ONLINE http://www.goamag.net http://mumbaihangout.org/radio/ Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today. ~Martial~
