Chairman-designate of the Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy
Kasaragod Chinna has said that he will organise more Konkani
literary and cultural programmes during his three-year tenure.
He was releasing the music CD of the Konkani feature film,
“Ujwadu”, at a function organised by the GSB Yuvaka Mandali
here.  Mr. Chinna said that he would organise more pro-Konkani
programmes in Udupi district. The Karnataka Konkani Sahitya
Academy was a unique organisation as it transcended barriers of
religion and caste. Mangalorean Catholic Christians, Muslim
Navayath community, and various castes following Hindu religion
spoke Konkani, making it a unique one. As Chairman, he would try
to do justice to all the communities, he said. Mr. Chinna, who
has also directed “Ujwadu”, said that the film was a symbol of
his gratitude to the mother-tongue. This was the third Konkani
film in GSB Konkani dialect.  Editor of Taranga Sandhya Pai
