Reference excerpt

The Goa Konkani Akademi (Goa Academy of Letters for Konkani) is an organization set up by the Government of Goa in 1986 to promote the Konkani language in the state of Goa. The aim is to accelerate the pace of development of the language by encouraging writers, researchers, etc, and to bring Konkani people from all regions together.

Nature The Goa Konkani Akademi was founded on 4 March 1986. It is an autonomous body and has jurisdiction over the state of Goa. It undertakes activities for the development and promotion of Konkani. GKA receives grants from the Government of Goa. The current Akademi President is Pundalik Naik (2002–present). Past presidents were Purushottam Kakodkar (1984-1996) and Uday Bhembre (1996-2002) respectively.

Aims and objectives The Akademi was built with the purpose of promoting the growth of Konkani. Some of the major goals stated on its website are: To initiate, assist or undertake implementation of projects or schemes of research in the field of Konkani language, literature and culture. To initiate, assist or undertake publication in Konkani language, the results of such research. To initiate, assist or undertake publication in Konkani language of original and erudite papers, monographs, books, journal, as also of any other works in any other branch of knowledge. The GKA carries out its activities under directions issued to it by the Government of Goa. It also assists the state Government in formulating various policies in regard to Konkani.

Activities The GKA conducts various activities

Providing financial assistance(75% of cost) to the first book by a new author. Provides 50% financial assistance to publishers and purchases 100 copies of each book. Section on folklore Has undertaken a project to publish a dictionary-cum-encyclopedia in Konkani. Conducts a "Knowledge of Konkani" certificate test which is necessary for Government Jobs in Goa. Also has other certificate exams. Has organized a five-day annual cultural event since 1993.

Organization structure The Organization has various sections

Education Section: Post-graduate and certificate courses; teacher training Lexicon Section: Creation of Konkani encyclopedia and dictionaries Folklore Section: collection of various media related to folklore Literature Section: Oversees various publication schemes Cultural Section: Drama, tiatr(theatre) and documentaries.

Leadership Following have been the Presidents of the GKA, since its inception.

Criticism The GKA has been accused of being biased against Konkani publications in the Roman script in the past. Another demand has been that the GKA should be headed by persons of both the major communities in Goa (Hindus and Christians) by rotation. In March 2017, three prominent members of the GKA committee—Chairman Madhav Borkar, Vice Chairman Jose Lourenco and member Kamlakar Mhalshi—quit their posts "citing issues in receiving funds from the government to conduct various Konkani language promotion programmes." There have been controversies over the some books that the GKA has turned down or declined to support. The GKA has a book publishing programme, but visibility of the books produced is seen as probably insufficient to what could be possible. One reason could be the "low-price, no-distributor-margins policy" as being responsible for the lack of interest by distributors, and hence low readership of its books.

Location The Goa Konkani Akademi's office is situated at Patto Colony, Panaji, Goa.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Goa Konkani Akademi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Goa Konkani Akademi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Goa Konkani Akademi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Goa Konkani Akademi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Goa Konkani Akademi

In research: Goa Konkani Akademi appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Goa Konkani Akademi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Goa Konkani Akademi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1986 establishments in Goa, Daman and Diu, Konkani, Linguistic research in India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Goa Konkani Akademi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
