    Congratulations to Jagotik Konknni Sanghotton for organising the Karnataka regional conference on status of Konknni in various regions.
    I am glad that the Conference discussed the issue of a common script.
    for the last few years now, I have been advocating that we should adopt Roman script for Konknnito have better unity and spread of Konknni literature among all ethnic sections and generations of the Koknni community spread all over the world.
    Let the JKS take the leadership in popularising a standardised way of writing Konknni language in Roman script.
