PANAJIDalgado Konknni Akademi’s Konkani Writers’ Conference at Ravindra Bhavan Margao saw the participation of 120 writers who passed six resolutions for uplifting the Konkani language and literature. Addressing the conference, Fr Gabriel Coutinho, parish priest of Our Lady of Rosary Church appealed to protect Roman script and promote teaching Konkani in Devnagri script in schools. “Teachers should learn Konkani because it is our mother tongue. Candidates coming for interviews for any teachers’ post do not know how to write their name in Konkani,” he lamented.
