    An excellent platform prepared by Konkani Bhasha Mandal to encourage the present youth and children to grow stronger with the Konkani Culture. I truly enjoyed being a part of this event and wish you all the very best so that we keep growing the Konkani culture in leaps and bounds. We've had so many singers, writers etc in the Konkani world so far and organizing such events is a way to sow the seeds to bring up many more such talented konkani lovers in the present world. Again I wish "Konkani Bhasha Mandal" all the very best.
