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.
