Gaum bhavani him utram mojim sadoitam tumchea kanar,
Sounsarant hea assat munis zannar ani toxech nennar,
Sogle ekuch, ghorib guirest, xinkot tor burgeach ponnar,
Mouza marxi, tem xinkop soddxi, tor roddtoloi matarponnar.

Ch.

Eka Aitara to duent zalo, mis sangonk zaina tosso,

Dekhun Sankistavank apoun haddun tanne sanglem, ki lokak sermau sang munon oxo.

“ I Remember You…”

School days, though over, yet afresh in my mind,
All you cheerful guys, hardly to find.
Cherished each pretty moments of togetherness,
And blossomed our life to the fullness!

Though afar, yet closer to my sight,
Never to be forgotten, the days we shared by.
The special touch of loving, caring and unity,
Spared out all the evil and enmity.

On the benches, right under the teacher's nose,
Enjoyed Bio, Chemistry, Physics & Maths as it goes.
Eagerly waiting, the echoing electric bell to be heard,
Bid the lecturer and then for the fun we would disperse.

The gone by laboratory days of cutting and wiring,
Played with the current, Anions & Cations.
Fright by the skull, continued to work hard,
Dissected the leaves and experimented its parts.

Although Teachers' often onboard,
Sometimes behind the benches all the fun.
Turned the class into rock club, eventually graveyard,
All these memories, to be deleted very hard.

Special friends leaves an imprint in our hear,
That brightens each seconds in the dark.
Wonderful creation, God's powerful imagination,
A friendly world to experience, all free of tension.
All that I want to let you know guys
How much I remember you Agnelites!!!

Seminar in Konkani at Zuarinagar

2008-02-21T02:25:00.000-08:00

Seminar in Konkani at Zuarinagar

VASCO, FEB 18 - The department of Konkani at MES College of Arts and
Commerce, Zuarinagar, in association with Goa Konkani Academy will organize
a state-level seminar in Konkani on 'Konkani Sahitya, Sanskrutai Ani Samaj'
on February 21 in the college premises from 9 am to 5 pm.Noted Konkani
writers, educationists, teachers and stage artistes will present papers on
the seminar subjects - short story, novel, drama, tiatr, mando and folklore.

http://www.oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=8815&cid=26

.....................................................
Dears,

It is nice to note the revival of interest in Konkani. Fr.Agnelo's
College, Pilar organised a similar meet too. The script is of little
concern to me as long as the youth are getting familiar with the
language in a way they understand. One can switch scripts at any time.
Exposure to a language and culture must come at a younger age.

Unfortunately, the mix of untrained, non-Konkani reading teachers
teaching Konkani in Devanagri to an increasingly Lamani and Bijapuri
student population in the Diocesan schools, is not the best way of
going about the job. Most Govt. primary schools do not teach
the"Official Language". After 15 years of Konkani in schools, the
circulation of the only Devanagri Konkani newspaper in Goa is not
increasing as it should have.

Literacy is not equal to readership. Even applictions or petitions are
not received by Govt. offices in Konkani written in Devanagri. The
teaching of the Official language has been as effective as the
teaching of French, Latin or Sanskrit in school. The post of "Director
of Official Language" is considered as a punishment now.

May be one day we will have our own Konkani Nirantari in Goa. At least
the process can begin.

Mog asundi.

The Mhamai Kamat House....At Goa

2008-01-27T21:30:00.001-08:00

The Mhamai Kamat House....At Goa

One of the oldest houses in Panjim is that of an important Hindu family in Goa, the Mhamai Kamats who had escaped from the Jesuits crusade in Chandor to convert people to Christianity as per the law enforced then by the Christian Missionaries.

Their house at Panjim is located just opposite the statue of Abbe Faria. Some members did get converted while the Hindu section of the family that remained established alliances with the Vijayanagar rulers and the Portuguese government sections thereby shifting to Panjim in the mid 18th century.

The reason for moving into this house was the close relationship of the Mhamai Kamats with the Raja of Sawantwadi who was a bitter enemy of the Portuguese government in Goa. Since the Kamat family had established diplomatic relations with the Vice regal circle of the Portuguese government, the Raja could have benefited from this. This prompted the shifting of the Mhamai Kamat family to Panjim just near the Idalcao palace which was the Viceroy’s official residence after he had left Old Goa and so have been there ever since.

Just along the waterfront is the famous jetty of the Mandovi river where ships would arrive and depart for Bombay. There was quite a lot of commotion during the arrival and departure of ships due to passengers trying to claim their positions on the ship. Opposite this jetty, one can still find the old public buildings.

Opposite the water creek at Betim, one can see the High Court building built in 1878 besides the famous Mandovi Hotel which offers a magnificent and picturesque view across the river. On the Betim hillside opposite the Panjim jetty is a white building or the Sikh Gurudwara which is the only one in Goa besides the one at Vasco, due to less Sikh population in Goa. The Chapel of Dom Lourenco built in the 18th century, is quite congested and crammed for space with an unusual combination roof of a plastered white dome and red tiled pyramid. Within the chapel are the remains of the altars and coat of arms of the Noronha family. A road to the left of the Mandovi hotel leads to the Azad Maidan.

The Konkani Language...Language of Goa

2008-01-27T21:29:00.000-08:00

The Konkani Language...Language of Goa

The Konkani language is the most widely spoken mother tongue of people in each and every part of Goa and is highly responsible for unification of the Goan population.

It is being made as the official language amidst a lot of disputes over its acceptance. Hindus use the Devnagri script while Roman Catholics add the Roman accent to the existing Devnagri script. Although it is widely spoken in Goa, it has a limited use in administration purposes, hence Marathi is made use of for such purposes. Its use as an official language is a major topic of discussion in debates, some favouring it while others going against it.

The Konkani language was initially banned by the Portuguese who destroyed all literary works and books written in Konkani and insisted that Portuguese should be the medium of learning at educational level and used in administrative purposes. It was only in the mid 19th century that the restriction on the use of Portuguese language was lifted due to the extreme difficulty that the Goans faced in using Portuguese for communication as well as commercial purposes. Although Portuguese is not used recently, there are quite a handful of people who still tend to use some Portuguese accent in their conversation, although this is rapidly reducing and only a mere sprinkling of words here and there is observed. Constant debates have been fought over the language to make it official as opposed to Marathi, which is believed to be derived from the Konkani language.

The educational system in Goa follows the Marathi medium of instruction in 80% of the institutes, while only 0.25% follow the Konkani medium. But on a higher scale, English is the most preferred medium of instruction in schools and colleges where 96% of students are taught English. Steps are being taken to include Konkani in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. The use of English is by far the largest, justified by 3 of the local and national newspapers, which are printed in English.

Kala Academy closes door on Romi script writers

Kala Academy closes door on Romi script writers

Dear all

What a horrible stab in the back. Why this fear to give equal status for Roman Konkani? Is it because if that is given than Devanagri will die an untimely death? Or is there some agenda with the devanagris to kill Roman, which might never die?

How many languages in India use Devanagri, There are many who don’t so why demand Devanagri only for Konkani? Is it to prove that we are Indians? So what about other states in India? What script is used by Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati, and Assamese? Are all the eastern Indian states using Devanagri? What about Bengali?

Devanagri guys are behaving like Mafia, Tech kortat tem sarkem, urlolea tel lait gele, oxem num? See a few people are using all skills like the mafia is using to deny any right for us poor speakers of Konkani to voice ourselves. What a pity. The power that these few use is sickening. All Tiatrists should boycott Kala Academy. Its these people who have made it an institution. Romans Konkani may use English as their second language but the Devanagris are total Marathi guys who take poroskar both ways. Isn’t it so? If not who buys all Marathi papers that sell in Goa?

Cheers

Kala Academy closes door on Romi script writers

PANJIM: Dalgado Konknni Akademy president Tomazinho Cardozo has asked Kala Academy chairman Pratapsing Rane not to allow the institution fall victim to the manipulations of Devnagri Konkani protagonists, and become a party to the discrimination meted out to followers of Konkani in Romi script. Reacting to the Kala Academy's decision not to disburse literary awards to Konkani works written in the Roman script, and not to constitute a separate award on par with the Gomanta Sharda Puraskar to writers in Roman script, Cardozo said that Rane had "encouraged the fascist ideas of Uday Bhembre and a few others in their aim to destroy Konkani in the Roman script".

KONKANI Meant to Unite

2008-01-27T03:18:00.000-08:00

KONKANI Meant to Unite
By Damodar Mauzo

Every language has different dialects. Styles differ according to the region, caste and community. Even the vocabulary varies. Every trade has its own terminology. These dialects, styles and jargon enrich a language. This is true for any language, be it a vernacular like Tamil or Bengali or English, the international language. Konkani can be no different. Yet, of late, attempts are being made by certain quarters to misguide and divide the people in the name of styles and scripts. This is highly deplorable.
All of us know the role of Goencho Saad and Sot in streamlining the composition and the orthography of Romi Konkani. It was its pioneering editor, Felicio Cardozo who laid the sound foundation of literary Romi Konkani. And who were the other contributors? Dr Manoharrai Sardesai, R V Pandit, Dr Bhikaji Ghanekar, Evagrio Jorge, Fr Moreno D’Souza, Fr Lactancio Almeida, Fr Alvaro Renato Mendes, Soter Barreto and a host of others who worked unitedly with zeal to develop literature in the language. It is true that the majority of Romi writers are Christians. But it is also true that many young Catholic writers are contributing to the Sunaparant. Therefore it is wrong to attribute a script to one particular community. Whether one writes in Devanagari or in Romi, all strive to serve their mother tongue.
Konkani-speaking people are spread over Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra and Goa. We all know that due to historic reasons and for the sake of convenience different scripts were adopted for writing Konkani. In Kerala, the people wrote Konkani in the Malayalam script while in Karnataka the majority write in the Kannada script and the Navayat community in the Arabic script. In Goa, both the Roman and Devanagari script are in use. Yet we are all Konkani-speaking people and would love to remain united in the cause of Konkani.
However, the recent views of Tomazinho Cardozo are lacking in balance. The demand for equal consideration for the literature produced in the Romi script is certainly justified. But asking for segregation of Romi from Devanagari is ridiculous. Holding Tiatr festival independent of drama festival is perfectly right, because Tiatr is an indigenous and independent form of drama and must be judged separately. However, when I write in the Romi script the language or the quality of writing cannot be different. It seems that Cardozo has some apprehension that Romi script writers are meted injustice while giving awards. If so, he should speak out and recommend names for a jury panel which he is comfortable with. The path he is taking could result in ‘Hundra Ragan Gharak Uzo’. The Kala Academy, Goa gives annual awards to literary works both in the Konkani and Marathi categories. Books in the Roman script are eligible and are considered for the award. These awards are treated as state awards. The academy also gives the Gomant Sharada Puroskar, a biennial lifetime achievement award, for a Goan writer of outstanding stature. Gomant Sharada Award can go to any writer of eminence irrespective of language as it is not given to the book but in consideration of the stature of the writer. Konkani writers writing in Roman script are certainly eligible for the award.
The Kala Academy has different advisory committees for different faculties including one for literature. Any demand or recommendation with respect to literature has to be evaluated by the advisory committee for the consideration of the executive committee and policy decisions are then taken by the general council. This is a procedure followed by all such bodies. Tomazinho, as a member of the executive committee, had proposed that the Academy awards be given to Romi writers by creating a third category in addition to the ones for Marathi and Konkani. The executive committee should have referred this to the advisory board for their consideration. However, the executive committee approved this proposal. When it came before the advisory board for literature for implementation, the board realising the anomaly of having two prizes for one language did not concur with the decision and hence recorded their protest. The matter then came before the general council for ratification of the EC decision. After due deliberations the council rejected the demand and rightly so. Konkani and Marathi books cannot be treated on par as both are different languages. But giving awards to books by dividing Konkani as Romi Konkani and Devanagari Konkani is highly objectionable.
Tomazinho has played yet another card that was unfair. He demanded that Gomant Sharada Award be given in three separate categories viz. Marathi, Konkani in Devanagari and Konkani in Roman script. His cynical game was to muster support for his demands from the Marathi camp as he had roped in Marathi too in this category. It seems he failed in his attempt. It is heartening to note that both these undesirable demands were rejected by the general council of the Kala Academy.
I am a Konkani writer. I am more at home with Devanagari. I also write in the Roman script. If I write in Devanagari and also publish the same in Roman script then can I claim awards in both the categories? Olivinho Gomes, Jess Fernandes and many more write in both the scripts with equal fluency. Would it be fair to claim awards in both the scripts? If a writer submits his books in both the categories and gets an award in one category then will it mean his writing in one script is good and the other is not?
Mr Cardozo certainly has every right to press for his demands. We live in a democracy. But Tomazinho seems to ignore democratic principles. He is a member of the general council of the Academy and when the decisions of the executive committee were placed before the council for ratification he had every opportunity to express himself. If Uday Bhembre has opposed the decision he has exercised his right of expression. How could one person influence the entire council? If the general council has rejected the move it is because it was convinced that the decision of the executive committee was not in the interest of the people. As a member of the council it was his duty to accept the verdict given in a democratic manner. Submitting a memorandum to the chairman of the Academy and terming the rejection as conspiracy amounts to questioning of the integrity and authority of the general council.
There are certain people who take pleasure in hitting at Uday Bhembre. Uday Bhembre is regarded as one of the most revered leaders of the Konkani movement. His selflessness and love for the land is known to one and all. He has championed the cause of Konkani in the face of strong opposition. His tirade against the policies and designs of the Maharashtrawadis has helped Goans retain their identity. His forceful and persuasive arguments have contributed immensely to the recognition to Konkani at all levels. His rational way of thinking and secular approach to Goan issues has often saved Goa from falling prey to the expansionist and divisive designs of Goa’s enemies. Even his archrivals never question his honesty and integrity.
Personally, I have a high regard for Udaybab because of his relentless efforts to selflessly serve the interests of Goan society. Until recently, I considered Tomazinho Cardozo as a champion of Konkani. But he seems to be reducing himself to being a champion of the Roman script Konkani. It is perfectly all right to be a protagonist of one script. But is it necessary to denigrate the others? Whom does he call the Devanagari fanatics? One thing has to be made clear. Devanagari has not been thrust upon Roman script writers. Tomazinho seems to be ignorant of history. Way back in 1962 when the Vijaya Muley Commission visited the just liberated Goa to study the language situation in Goa it received representations from different quarters. The most vocal opinion in favour of Konkani in Devanagari was a group of Catholic priests. Similarly the same year the first ever set of text books for Konkani was prepared by Dr Manoharrai Sardesai in both the scripts presuming that Catholic schools would prefer the Roman script. However, the move met with strong opposition in favour of Devanagari from the academicians and priests that included Fr Cruz Fernandes, Fr Carmo D’Silva and Fr Moreno D’Souza who believed that no attempt should be made to divide the people. Script has never been a dividing factor, though the protagonists of Marathi did try to segregate the two factions. We were fortunate that we had farsighted stalwarts to lead us. It is sad that the script issue is being blown out of proportion by some people for petty gains. The damage that is being done to the cause of Konkani is immense. Dividing the language in the name of the scripts is neither in the interests of the people nor will it serve Roman script writing. It will only lead to communal disharmony and hatred for one another.
There is more than meets the eye in this mud-slinging tirade against upright persons of unimpeachable integrity. There is a sinister similarity to earlier campaigns by communal elements, which had unsuccessfully sought to destroy Konkani and the Goan identity. An old war stratagem is – What cannot be destroyed by external forces can be made to succumb by suborning it from inside. It would be proper if Tomazinho and his like-minded group pauses a while and not allow themselves to be used as cat’s paws. Otherwise, the fate of the language which countless Goans regard as sacred will be bleak.

MYSTICAL SEPTEMBER!

2008-01-21T01:38:00.000-08:00

MYSTICAL SEPTEMBER!

Come September the mystical spirit creeps over me like ink into blotting paper. In a thrice my attention goes off at a tangent, drawn by the rain cascading down my window panes. I look out on a dew-drop-decked meadow beyond. How much living theology is written in the book of nature.
I see the glory and beauty of the universe with my third eye, the inner eye of the heart, the eye of wisdom, the eye of love.
How verdant and sprightly the grass is! I relish the refreshing smell of damp soil. The air is crisp and clear. It caresses me gently and wraps itself around me like a silken cloak. The trees are washed clean and inviting. I see flowers dancing gaily in gusty monsoon wind. I join in the dancing.
The fruit-laden, arching branches of trees creak and sing gaily as they sway rhythmically. I cannot resist the charm of nature. I enter sheepishly into God’s dance of exuberant joy and fullness of life.
I see herds of cows and flocks of sheep grazing merrily, lazily in the vast expanse of juicy, green, green grass. They surely savour and ruminate the delicious spread. I cannot take my eyes off this relaxing scene. I am in a pensive mood as I walk down a moist, muddy path. I wonder if humble animals can enjoy nature’s bounty, why can I not feel cosy in its encircling arms? It welcomes me too. In fact, I am already enjoying its motherly ways.
I sit silently, lovingly, mystically at the feet of Jesus, in this bracing, invigorating milieu.
I listen to the symphony of chirping, twittering birds in hundreds of leafy trees. What tranquility! Like medicinal balm for the afflicted heart. The birds of the air do not seem to have a care in the world. No fears, no inhibitions, no worries, no stress. They whistle and flit about in glee. What a delight for the eye. A joy to behold! I say to myself. Look and listen and learn to be like the flowers of the field and the birds of the air.
Joining the birds are the amazing, restless butterflies. These delicate fairy-like creatures catch my imagination. They settle down fleetingly, from one flower to the next, in search of delectable, divine nectar. They do not fret for their daily bread or store food for a rainy day. After all, Mother Earth is their home too.
I am reminded of the empty tomb of the risen Lord in the serene garden. Pregnant stillness! Resurrection power! Nature is the womb of God that receives me in silence.
I stand at the foot of an enchanting hillock. Rain water pours sown a steep fall, like a sheet of glass. I touch the icy-cold waterfall and feel a quickening of the spirit. I feel uplifted and empowered. I am at peace with myself, the surroundings and God. I somehow sense the Creator and His creation. This network has a warm centre called the heart, which is my habitation, my home. Ah! My pulse races. My heart gathers momentum.
There is a universal feeling of oneness that envelops me like an encircling morning mist. A time to cry, “Abba, Father!”
I enter an Ashram at the foothills. Thousands of bells chant sweet music. This coupled with the sonorously rich OM bring heaven down to earth. Cows walk leisurely back from their pastures, to a place that is their home, with little bells round their necks tinkling. I enter the hallowed space of the house of God. What quiet! Total serenity. Surely a tranquil place to be in. Peace pours over me like a soft rain falling sedately on dry ground. I enjoy unruffled calm, radiant joy and rest in God’s titillating presence. I am ensconced in the silence of the Master! The still small voice that spoke to Elijah whispers to me. God spoke to Moses “mouth to mouth” (Num.12:6), He speaks to me too that intimately. I know too well I am a mere earthling in an ethereal atmosphere.
I notice a few animals drink from the placid waters of a glistening stream, that playfully runs across the meadow. I grow ecstatic. The type of experience Abraham Maslow called the “peak experience”, the “moment of rapture”, conversion experience or a moment of illumination, something that St. Paul went through on the road to Damascus.
The low bushes almost cling to wet, soft banks and bloom luxuriantly in all their pristine beauty. A feast for the eye! I take in the ambrosial picturesqueness of Mother Earth. I realize I am slowly but surely getting to be one with the universe, the cosmos. I am astonished at how every single creature, animate and inanimate, is interrelated with the one true God. The awareness brings me prosperity, nothing-broken-nothing-missing, shalom! I know I am back in Paradise mankind had once lost.
And this gold nugget. Contemplation shakes the universe, topples the powers of evil, builds a great society and opens the door to eternal life. But, I did nothing to merit this wondrous grace!

Sunil Palkar - Konkani Poet

2008-01-16T05:56:00.000-08:00

Palkar’s ‘Maye Mate’ selected for poets’symposium 2008
NT News Service

Panaji, Jan 15 : Konkani poet Sunil Palkar has been selected for this year’s All India Akashwani Multi-lingual Poets’ meet by Akashwani, Panaji.
His poetry ‘Maye mate’ has been selected for the National Poets’ Symposium 2008. A publicity-shy Mr Palkar has been writing Konkani poetry for over a quarter century, the pressnote here says and adds that he has also handled other literary works such as children’s literature and one-act plays.
His ‘Nagin’ (collection of poems) and ‘Rangmanch’ (one-act plays) have been published. He has compiled songs of national spirit of various Konkani poets all over India, and this collection is in the process of being published. His collection of songs on nationalism of only Goan poets called ‘Rashtrajyot’ has been published. Most of his poems usually take the form of songs, the press release says. He has to his credit a collection of more than 200 abhang (hymns). His songs and abhangs are regularly broadcast over Akashwani.
Palkar has acted in the Konkani film ‘Akant’ as well as in tiatrs. The national symposium of poetry will take place at Akashwani, Nagpur on January 17 and the same will be broadcast on January 25 on the eve of the Republic Day.

Return of the Language Row

Return of the Language Row
Marathi can never be considered for the official language status in Goa
By R. Cabral

If many saw Union Finance Minister Jaswant Singh's maiden national budget as a populist exercise aimed at taking BJP's tally to around 300 at a likely mid-term Lok Sabha poll in the immediate future, Manohar Parrikar in Goa has signalled his readiness for such an eventuality by unfolding yet another virtually tax-free, populist but undoubtedly a growth oriented budget.
In his third consecutive budget, which has spared the common man from any fresh levies, Chief Minister Parrikar has tried to further widen the scope of budget exercise, which several of his predecessors had turned into a mere annual ritual.
With employment schemes galore, Parrikar is consistently broad-basing his constituency by targeting the younger generation, which he began last by mooting the innovative training cum employment scheme. Seen from purely a vote-bank perspective, Parrikar is consolidating his political base through every budget by reaching to diverse sectors and segments of the population like youth, senior citizens, women, backward communities which, by and large, remained beyond its scope hitherto. Be that as it may, in no way that can undermine Parrikar's political acumen and fiscal skills at piecing together yet another budget full of novel schemes and innovative concepts.
The budget for 2003-04 has hiked excise on liquor marginally and given further incentives to tourism sector by extending the luxury tax off-season tariffs from four months to six months, waived interest and penalty on sales tax overdue, etc. However, he has targeted the high end hospitality industry by seeking to amend the Gambling Act to discourage gambling by restricting the entry of "vulnerable strata of the society" by slapping a Rs.200 per individual entry fee on places of gambling and casinos. He has proposed to enhance the licensing and registration fees under the Tourist Trade Act and to bring in more activities under its purview and ensure better regulation.
In the Rs.3155crore budget, the Chief Minister has tried to concentrate on debt and expenditure management for the tiny State by ostensibly trying to keep borrowing level under control. Goa will implement the much publicised value added tax (VAT) from July1, 2003 by simultaneously abolishing existing entry tax except for petroleum products. All other exemptions will also remain operative till the introduction of VAT. A novel insurance cum gratuity scheme has been introduced for sales tax dealers registered with the department.
In order to help cinema theatres to make them financially viable, the government has reduced the entertainment tax from present 60% to 40%. In a "soft" budget, otherwise, liquor has borne the brunt of marginal dose of taxation. Parrikar has tried to rationalise structure of excise duties and augment revenues by making certain changes in the existing rate structures in various categories of the liquor including IMFL and beer. A health surcharge of 1% will be imposed on the excise duty as well as license fees and the proceeds will be channelled to support and encourage setting up of de-addiction centres by voluntary organisations.
Taking the angle of social cost of growing liquor addiction, the government has sought to discourage the proliferation of the liquor outlets by enhancing application fee for new licenses steeply, but spared the tourism areas. Advertisements promoting all liquor products will be strictly banned by amending the relevant laws.
Extending the "user charge" concept for services provided by government agencies -for those who can afford to pay- introduced by him successfully in last two budgets, Parrikar has introduced nominal fees in the health care system, especially for the advanced diagnostic facilities provided in government
hospitals. The Chief Minister advocates "user charges" concept to imbibe a sense of accountability in the government departments vis-à-vis the citizens.
A relief to the housing sector has been accorded by reducing the Stamp Duty on properties to 5% from 8% and the co-operative sector, which had been exempted from it, will now have to pay 2.5%. In the sphere of higher education, the budget has sought to revise fees structure of colleges to partially cover the increasing costs incurred to provide requisite infrastructure. As a revenue generating measure, the government will tax all kinds of lotteries including on-line ones at 20%. A cess on use of government property to lay cables by various service providers including telecom and cable operators is also on the cards.
One striking feature of this budget with an uncovered deficit of Rs.5.12 crore, is its massive thrust on retention, generation and encouragement of employment in sectors like agriculture, animal husbandry, apart from industries. This is sought to be done through a three-pronged strategy of retention of employment in the traditional sectors such as agriculture and allied activities by making them remunerative, creation of large scale employment by providing incentives to industries to employ people on a sustainable basis, and encoura-gement to self employment. He has proposed to set up "Krishi ghars" which will act as collection, sorting, storage and selling centres for agriculture and horticulture products at various locations.
The budget has given a lot of emphasis on self employment opportunities in traditional occupations by proposing to set up of an "Employment Board" which would provide guidance cum placement facilities for those sections who are otherwise not eligible for employment in government or other organisations, training facilities in various semi skilled activities like hair cutting, tailoring, plumbing, masonry, tourist guides etc, through government establishments are part of the budget proposals.
Talking of state revenues, Parrikar claimed that the revenue receipts of the State have registered a handsome increase of almost 58% during the period of last three years. On the non-tax front, a phenomenal increase of more than 200 per cent in just three years has been achieved thanks to an agreement with Power Trading Corporation (PTC) for sale of surplus power and successful re-negotiation of the power purchase agreement with Reliance Salgaocar Power Corporation Limited (RSPCL).
The budgetary allocations to various departments have been hiked considerably. There is no doubt that the Plan expenditure has increased consistently over the last two years from Rs.251.69 crore in 1999-2000 to around Rs. 593 crore in the current year. Parrikar said that this increase has been achieved with a much lower proportion of increase in borrowings. The net fiscal deficit, which is a broad indicator of loans taken for defraying current expenditure has increased marginally from Rs.412.86 crore in 2000-01 to Rs 415.27crore in the revised estimates of the current year.
The only area of concern has been the revenue deficit, which has increased marginally from Rs.88.61 crore, as projected, to Rs.104.48 crore at the revised estimate stage. The Chief Minister intends to eliminate revenue deficit completely by the year 2004-05.
Generation of sustainable employment has been made the central focus of Goa's industrial policy with a provision of Rs.33 crore towards several schemes like "employment subsidy scheme" for industries which provide employment to local youth, "share capital contribution to local entrepr-eneurs and self employed", "venture capital contribution scheme" and an "interest subsidy" scheme. A Rs.8 crore provision has been made for clearing old capital investment subsidy.
The "Cyberage Age Student" scheme, introduced last year under which government has distributed 1500 personal computers to science students of XI, will be extended to all streams of XI students by expanding its cope to include supply of educational software. Internet connectivity at a nominal rate is also being considered for inclusion. A budget provision of Rs.25 crore has been made for this purpose. The "Mid School Meal" scheme will be implemented in the coming year in more talukas.
The infrastructure development scheme to assist schools for development of infrastructure is also being extended to the colleges during the next year. All government primary schools will be provided with drinking water and toilet facilities.
In order to protect the workers from severe financial distress arising out of retrenchments, the government will launch a new scheme called "Retrenchment Workers' Assistance Scheme". As an indication of his government's commitment to reduce vehicular pollution, he proposes to make all transport vehicles of more than 15 years age go off the roads from 1st October 2003. A "green cess" on non-transport vehicles which are more than 15 years old has been proposed.
Serious about fiscal management, Parrikar has introduced a novel concept of online cash management system connecting Directorate of Accounts and Finance Department as management of expenditure is an important aspect of control of expenditure.
The Chief Minister intends to peg fiscal deficit to below 3 per cent on a permanent basis. As the proportion of tax and non-tax revenue has improved steadily from around 53 per cent in 2000-01 to 60 per cent in the revised estimates for 2002-03, in the next fiscal year he expects this figure to increase to 62 per cent. Consequently, the borrowings as a percentage of receipts will come down from 35 per cent to 26 per cent during the same time frame. On the expenditure front,p the proportion of salaries, wages and other establishment expenditure has dropped from 41 per cent in 2001-02 to 37 percent in 2002-03 (RE). He has promised to bring it down to 36 per cent during the year 2003-04.

Promoting Konkani Literature
Better days for Konkani Literature are on the cards
By Alexandre M Barbosa (Goa Today/May 2003)

Literature in Konkani has grown considerably in the last few decades. Volumes of poetry and prose have been written, published and some have received critical acclaim. Every year, the Sahitya Akademi awards a Konkani writer, yet the reach of the literature produced, which is indeed vast, is limited to the Konkan region, more specifically, the State of Goa and a few Konkani speaking pockets in Karnataka. This limitation can now be transcended through translations, which until now were not a reality. Publishers, who hitherto were unwilling to touch regional language works are gradually waking up to the rich literature available in these languages.
Translations are important for a country like India, which has such a large number of languages and writers who pen works in all these. With the untenable concept of English literature being the only thing of quality, regional language works have suffered for a long time, but as this concept is set aside, Konkani has managed to lure publishers.
Of all Indian languages, Konkani is probably right down below in priority where literature is concerned. Languages such as Assamese, Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam have some established writers and publishers prefer to deal with some established faces than risk new writers in other languages.
Konkani, held the status of a stepchild, with few wanting to touch it, until Mini Krishnan came along, picked up a novel written by Pundalik Naik and got it published by Oxford University Press (OUP). Krishnan is currently a consultant with OUP for their translation-projects, and is based in Chennai. Until a couple of years ago she was an editor at Macmillan guiding their text books publication. It was at Macmillan that Krishnan started off with the project of translating into English and publishing works from regional languages. While there she was able to bring out around eleven translations and making contacts that today makes her much sought after by writers in regional languages.
And with the discovery of regional language writing, Konkani has benefited. Released just over a month ago was the English translation of Mahableshwar Sail’s Kalli Ganga. It was published by National Book Trust. This is the second Konkani novel that has been translated and published within a short time. The other novel was Pundalik Naik’s Acchev, (The Upheaval) which was published by OUP. Both the books were translated by Vidhya Pai.
And underlining the importance of translations, ‘Crossing the Borders Trough Translations’ was the theme of a one-day seminar held recently in Goa that debated the issue of translating literature from the regional language to English so as to widen the readership. Present at the seminar were Nebanita Deb Gosh, a Bengali poet, Calcutta-based Vidya Pai who has translated Konkani works into English and Mini Krishnan.
Says Mini Krishnan, “One of the premises of translations is that the Punjabi should be able to read Malayalam, the Oriya should be able to read Tamil, the Tamil should be able to read Marathi. That is not happening. What is happening is that the Tamil who understands Tamil but cannot read Tamil is gobbling up the English translation, Likewise the Oriya, the Malayalee and Punjabi.”
As writers are reaching out to new readers through the translations of their works, the latter are discovering a rich and varied literature that had earlier been ignored.
“The Konkani short stories I have read are excellent,” says Krishnan. Short stories in Konkani have had a rather wide readership. An anthology of short stories Ferry Crossing published by Penguin and edited by Manohar Shetty did include quite a few Konkani stories, besides in 2002 Jaico Publishers released Modern Goan Short Stories edited by Luis S Rita Vas that also brought into English some Konkani stories. Katha too has promoted regional language writing, but there is not much that only they can do. With other publishers stepping in, there is now more scope for regional language literature to go beyond their limited area of influence. Yet, OUP is the only publisher who has somebody working solely on translations.
And with the concept now being to try and make available modern literature to the readers, Konkani literature has promise that it should promote. “Konkani has a great future, because everyone has woken up. Your own people have woken up. With other languages, which are powerful and rich, everyone is complacent. But here most Konkani speakers have a desire to protect the language and not let it go,” says Krishnan who confirms that she has plans to push Konkani literature.
Pushing Konkani and getting it published is one side of the game. Marketing is the major setback the published writers are faced with. Krishnan, however, offers a nugget of advice. Says she, “Industrialists should be told that at festival times, instead of distributing sweets, give a book. It is a side of your culture, the literature of the land, that is going out to the people.” Unless the book is marketed, in a manner of speaking like one would market any other product, literature will not reach the masses.
As far as marketing of literature is concerned, the media plays a crucial role to introduce it to the people. “Don’t you want your own children to know your literature?” asks Krishnan. It is only through such publicity that a book can be sold and read. Today, Universities in the country are recommending English translations of novels as texts. This is how far regional language literature has grown in the country. That’s not all for even abroad there is now a market for such literature.
Given that Konkani is written in the Devanagri as well as Roman script and those that are conversant with one script may find it bothersome even reading the other, English translations should be lapped up by the local people. Literature is the essence of a culture and identity, and it is unfortunate that many Goans have not read their own writers. This broadens the readership for the writer and for the reader is an opportunity to make up for years of neglecting literature.

TSKK REPORT 2007

Wishing you all grace filled
Christmas: The feast of caring and sharing May you be blessed With joy and happiness in the New Year 2008

It is said that ‘If one can dream it, then you can do it.’
Years ago, a few Jesuits envisaged a Konknni Research Institute in Goa. Their imagination became a reality in March, 1982, when Thomas Stephens Konknni Kendr (TSKK) was established. Today it has its own building, research library, classrooms, a botanical garden, and other facilities. TSKK has made a significant contribution to the development, research and promotion of Konknni language and culture.

This year TSKK is celebrating its Silver Jubilee. All that has been achieved is due to God’s blessings, and the love, support and financial help received from our benefactors, friends and well wishers. This annual report is an account of what we have contributed to Konknni this year. We look forward to your continued support in the years to come. On this occasion we also like to remind you that you and your families are in our prayers, especially as Christmas, the Feast of the Prince of Peace, draws near and the New Year 2008 approaches.

Be a Partner in Konknni’s Development
The growth of any institution depends on successful execution of its projects, financial stability and commitment of the team members. After 25 years of its existence TSKK has to expand its scope of activities and projects. For this it needs financial support. This could be achieved by creating various Corpus Funds. Corpus Funds could be invested in Fixed Deposits in bank or in Balanced Mutual Funds. From the returns of the Corpus funds the respective projects have to be executed. So far TSKK has envisaged the following projects for which Corpus Funds are required.

1. CULTURAL PROJECT:
TSKK intends to organize every month one cultural programme of one and a half hour (one hour for performance and half an hour for discussion and dialogue with the audience) related to Goan Folklore at its premises. These monthly programmes will give an opportunity for the folk artists to display and develop their talents. Besides this, TSKK will conduct workshops to train younger artists to learn folk dances and folk forms. If the funds are available, TSKK could assign audio-video projects to record various folk dances of Goa.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 32 lakhs

2. RESEARCH PROJECT:
Konknni needs scientifically written grammars textbooks, dictionaries for beginners, and advanced learners. Besides these, reference works for college and university students have to be written. TSKK could initiate these projects with the help of research assistants on a contract basis. Two research assistants are required to do this task. TSKK publishes its research bulletin Sod.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 23.6 lakhs

3. LIBRARY PROJECT:
TSKK has an excellent library with a good collection of books and periodicals. All these have to be made available to the readers on computers. For this, one computer, with printer and library software, is needed. Library has to be upgraded through purchase of new books, new subscriptions, shelves, cupboards and other library material. Besides the existing books and documents must be preserved through fumigation and using naphthalene balls.
Corpus Fund required: 16.3 lakhs

4. SCHOLARSHIPS PROJECT:
Scholarships are needed to encourage and financially support talented, but economically poor students to do B.A. in Konknni. TSKK is interested in giving at least 10 scholarships. The recipients of these scholarships will spend a minimum of 25 hours at TSKK to acquired work experience.
Corpus Fund required: 6 lakhs

5. TIATR PROJECT:
Tiatr is the most popular form of theatre in Goa. To encourage tiatr, actors, playwrights, directors, singers, instrumentalists, light & sound technicians, stage setters and others, an annual award of 50,000/- could be given to deserving artistes.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 7 lakhs

6. PUBLICATION PROJECT:
TSKK does research and publishes educational material. As publishing literature in Konknni is economically a difficult proposition, there are no known publishers in Goa. Therefore it is TSKK’s responsibility to undertake publishing of research material.
Corpus Fund required: 25 lakhs

7. AUDIO-VISUAL MEDIA PROJECT:
TSKK wants to prepare educational audio-video material, which is necessary for teaching Konknni. Besides TSKK plans to prepare short films and documentaries in Konknni, which could be used for value education in schools, colleges and parishes.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 20 lakhs

8. BOTANICAL GARDEN PROJECT:
TSKK has a mini-botanical garden with a selection of most of the fruit trees and plants found in Goa. This garden has become a center of attraction for plant lovers and botany students. The garden provides shelter to a number of local and migratory birds. The garden needs further improvement and regular maintenance.
Corpus Fund required: Rs. 15.36 lakhs

9.. MAINTENANCE FUND
TSKK’s building needs continuous maintenance and repair. Besides painting, rain protection sheets are needed to protect the building during the monsoons. TSKK website has to be upgraded every month and has to be maintained. Computers, inverters, an EPBX system and vehicles need constant maintenance.
Corpus fund required: Rs 25 Lakhs

10.. CHILDREN’S LITERATURE FUND:
Good reading habits in any language develops at childhood. Hence for the development and promotion of Konknni, children’s literature is essential. In this context TSKK wants to promote Konknni among children through publication of storybooks, comic books, CDs, DVDs and through various activities specially designed for them.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 10 lakhs

11. DOR MHOINEACHI ROTTI PROJECT:
The oldest Konknni periodical is Dor Mhoineachi Rotti. It was started in 1915. It could be developed as an excellent Catholic Family Journal with professional approach.
Corpus Fund required: 38.8 lakhs.

12. STAFF WELFARE FUND:
Due to lack of funds TSKK is unable to offer attractive salaries to its competent and dedicated staff. This results in good performers moving to jobs that offer better pay. To prevent this, TSKK has to build a Staff Welfare Fund. From this fund the staff could be assisted by giving interest free housing loans, vehicle loans, payment of medicare, annual special allowance, pension and financial assistance for the education of their children.
Corpus Fund required: Rs 30 lakhs
If you need further details about these projects, kindly contact TSKK. Your contribution to any of these projects could be sent either in cash/cheque/Demand Draft in the name of:

Kantaracho Jhelo - Alfred Rose

2007-12-13T01:23:00.001-08:00

Dear Goemkars,

In memory of Alfred Rose, I would like to pen down some of his old songs
from his old album which many of you would like to sing. These songs are
from his 1973 Album.

I, being one of his fan, many a times just open the Jhelo and sing
remembering my teenage days. Hope you too do the same.

May God grant him eternal rest and courage to his bereaved family.

These are the few words he wrote before he could publish this “Kantaracho
Jhelo”

Best regards.
