Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa Memorial GULAB Awards Function on 20th July at Margao
The prestigious GULAB Awards 2010 for excellence in the Konkani tiatr,
literary, social and sports fields will be presented to the meritorious
winners at 3.30 p.m. on 20th July, 2011 at Pai Tiatrist Auditorium,
Ravindra Bhavan, Margao. The function commemorates the 58th Birth
Anniversary of Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa, the founder-editor of the Konkani
monthly magazine GULAB, who had also instituted these Awards.
Fr Freddy J. Da Costa began the publication of the GULAB Konkani monthly
in Roman script in January 1983. With the view of preserving and
fostering and propagating Goan culture, he also established the
tradition of awarding every year those stars who had made notable
contributions in various walks of Goan life. In the beginning, the
number of awards was seven – tiatrists who excelled in varied genres,
Goan sportsperson of the year and a luminary who added to the prestige
of Goa (the GULAB Man of the Year). The tradition has been maintained
to date; the number of Awards having now reached 12. As the demand for
comedians on the tiatr stage has increased in recent years, we now have
two awards in this category – male comedian and female comedian.
GULAB Awards have attained a prestige of their own in the Tiatr world,
and Goans eagerly await their announcement. Many people have compared
these Awards to the Filmfare Awards given to Bollywood stars.
In commemoration of Fr Freddy’s own contribution to Konkani literature
as well as of his constant encouragement to budding writers, Fr. Freddy
J. Da Costa Memorial Trust conducts a Literary Competition every year.
The prizes of the 2010 edition will also be distributed to the
respective winners during this function.
Shri Filipe Nery Rodrigues, Minister for Water Resources, Government of
Goa will be the Chief Guest of the Awards Function which is organized by
the Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa Memorial Trust.
The Gulab Awards function will be accompanied by a colourful variety
programme consisting of music, songs and comedy. The general public is
cordially invited to attend the function in large numbers. For Entry
Cards, please contact: GULAB office at Margao – 2715692 (Fabian G. da
