MARGAO: The Dalgado Konknni Akademi (DKA) will soon come up with a book on invitations and congratulations in Konkani in the Roman script to make sure the language is used in everyday life. While speaking at a recently held function organised to release the five Konkani literary books the president of the Akademi, Mr Premanand Lotlikar also announced that the Akademi has now taken the responsibility to codify tiatr scripts. In this context he has appealed to tiatrists to submit their scripts to the Akademi. We have come across people facing problems in printing invitations in Konkani. So the Akademi will soon come out with invitations in Konkani which will be made available with printers and other individuals, he said. He also said that the Akademi would release a CD on Konkani songs soon. The vice president of the Ravindra Bhavan, Margao, Mr Shridhar Kamat spoke on the need to protect and popularise brass musical instruments and the musical tradition of mando as an art form. He was of the opinion that the problems why brass musical instruments do not attract the younger generation , should be delved into. He said that the mando needs to be given a boost by establishing a method to pass on the art to the younger generation. The vice president, Mr Vincy Quadros stressed on the need for the Goa Konkani Akademi, the Tiatr Akademi and the Dalgado Konkani Akademi to join forces and introspect on the further development of the Konkani language. The five books released were Dispottttem Chintop (Reflections) by Dominic P Fernandes, Gupi (Childrens literature) adapted by Bonaventure DPietro, Padri (non-stop tiatr) by Prince Jacob, 14 Doyalleo Kornneo (short stories) by Ms Brenda Menezes and Rong (a collection of one act plays) compiled by Jose Salvador Fernandes. http://www.navhindtimes.in/buzz/6369-dalgado-konkani-akademi-to-codify-konkani-invitations-and-congratulations
