    We have always cherished a sweet sentiment of praise and admiration for Konkany Natak Sabha that has strived so long and so tirelessly in order to keep our Konkany talents and Konkany culture alive in and around Mangalore. Who owns this Konkany Natak Sabha complex is still not known to us, but this prestigious establishment has had some of the best pioneers such as late Fr. George Albuquerque SJ., as well as late Fr. Philip Neri who have struggled a great deal, more than seventy years ago , to bring this renowned Konkany establishment into a reality.


    We have a great admiration for whoever is conducting all these periodic programs, but let the Organization continue to prevail and let our Parishes of Mangalore continue to participate in the Annual contests and talents in order to enable our Konkany language and Konkany culture survive. Konkany Natak Sabha has given their very best to our community, and we are grateful for all their untiring efforts in order to retain our pride and prestige in Mangalore.


    We have some of the fond memories of Konkany Natak Sabha, and we wish all the responsible authorities best of success in all their dedication towards our Konkany language and our beloved society.
