Konkani language Channels Konkani is the official language of the state of Goa and it is also the medium of instruction till recently It is also the mother tongue Fifty years after state hood the state does not have its own transmission in the language and there is no indication,as to when it may become a reality How much time is devoted for transmission/broadcast in this official language Goa Doordarshan is merrily engaged in relaying more of Marathi programmes simply because they are available off the shelf to fill the gaps Only Mr Shantaram makes periodical announcements of getting independent scheme as the State, when it suits his purpose. None of our legislators are serious or show concern to establish a facility, with the Govt. having resources at its command, but lacking will and vision. On the contrary our M,L.A`s are taking advantage and merrily patronising private channels broadcasting 24x7 and have a following to survive and prosper.It is a worthy private initiative that promotes Konkani language,culture,traditions and Goan identity The channels available are 365,Prudent,HCN and V. The pity is that they are till date not available on DTH platform for a wider coverage much to the desire of Konkani lovers> The Govt. needs to study the success story of this channels to emulate and act .Hail the promoters for the love and spread of this identity I understand that these broadcast are available outside the state Nelson Lopes Chinchinim 9850926276
