Concepta Fernandes is a rare talent who has represented the Mangalorean Konakni community in the public domain. It might sound strange that despite our mastery in education and so called mastery of foreign languages, there are very few Mangalorean catholics who can speak fluent Kannada in public. Even priests who are called to address gatherings in Kannada appear to be lost for words. On to Concepta Fernandes for rescue - she has spearheaded innumerable projets, may it be a felicitaion or a huge political rally. She is well known in Dakshina Kannada for her programs on All India Radio. She will remain a in-valuable asset to the Konkani community and I hope many Mangalorean women will follow her example.

Personalities like Ms. Concepta are unsung heroes of our society. Their contributions may not make any difference to us in general but to certain people it does enormously - i.e. 'Bindu bindu - Jeeva Sindhu'

I congratulate you on this award and wish you loads of energy to keep your good work continued.
