Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo, the Chairman of Goa Tiatr Akademi has said that
people should acknowledge the fact that there was a cultural diversity
among different sections of Konkani society and, we have to make our
hearts a bit “vishal” to be accommodative so that Konkani language with
different flavours will continue to flourish. He was speaking as the
Chief Guest at a function organized to launch new musical feature
designed and presented by “Swarshree-Goa” today (Saturday, April 9,
2011). The function was organized under sponsorship of the Rotary Club

State Award winner producer, Mr. Ramanand Raikar. While complimenting
Mr. Raikar and his group, Mr. Tomazinho Cardozo brought to the notice of
those present that Goa Chief Minister Mr. Digamber Kamat was a great
lover of art and music and that he has enlarged the canvas of activities
of the Department of Art and Culture. Thus a number of schemes are now
available to the artist and they should be availed, he said.
