KBM vice-president, Serafin Cota said these 118 youngsters will become the torchbearers of Konkani field and will fulfill all the dreams to take the palanquin if Konkani to greater heights.
Goa Konkani Akademy President, Pundalik Naik, who administered the oath to the new members, said as all the 118 members join the organisation on a single day coinciding with the Correia Afonso’s birth anniversary, the day will be written in golden letters in the history of Konkani movement.
Though the new entrants have been sworn in to preserve and protect Konkani language and identity, they will also shoulder the responsibility to work for the betterment of the society. “The constructive unity power is not for any melee, but they will use it for the betterment of Konkani language”, remarked KBM President Purnanand Chari.
