    Dr. Rocky Miranda is revered as one of the finest linguists in the country today. He was teaching Historical Linguistics in Minnesota University for past 30 years.
    He has done a great service to Konkani by thoroughly examining the Old Konkani Mahabharatha of 16th Century, which is preserved in Microfilms at Braga University -Portugal and publishing his work on linguistic analysis of Konkani Language based on the epic in these microfilms. His work is published by CIIL, Mysore.

    Congratulations to Dr. Miranda and Vaman Mam being honoured with these coveted awards from Goa Konkani Academy.
