LIST OF SAHITYA ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS - WRITERS IN KONKANI

From: Miguel Braganza


Dears,

Konkani, irrespective of the script, was recognised by the Central Sahitiya Akademi in 1975. The first Sahitiya award was given in 1977. In 1981, the Advisory Committee recommended that only books written in ..... or transliterated in to.... Devanagri script should be considered for the award. The Goa Official Language Act, 1987, is not binding on the Central Sahitiya Akademi but it makes the case of the Advisory committee recommendation stronger. There it stands to this day. Read the names of the winners of the award since 1977. The whole thing is self-explanatory.

Further updates now available on the Goa Konkani Akademi website.
Those wishing to write to this organization may email info@goakonkaniakademi.org

Furthermore some KAVITA (Poem) and Short Stories' translation is shown in the website, but not the original Konkani content.
It appears strange to us.
Are we 'promoting' English or KONKANI ?

Examples are
1. B. B. BORKAR - PAINZANNA ( ANKLET BELLS )
2. MADHAV BORKAR - I CONVINCE
3. MADHAV BORKAR - HORIZON
4. MADHAV BORKAR - LIFE
5. MADHAV BORKAR - LIPS
6. SANJIV VEREKAR - KID
7. SANJIV VEREKAR - IN THIS CONCRETE JUNGLE8. JESS FERNANDES - THE ANGST
