History

Bonaventura d'Pietro, a prominent Konkani writer, in 2015. An award has been instituted in his name after his death.

The academy was established in 1988 and named after Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado.[1] During the period 1988-1992, the DKA was very active. Freddy J. da Costa was the President, Tomazinho Cardozo was the secretary and Prabhakar Tendulkar the treasurer. During this period, DKA published Konkani Orthography in Roman Script, a publication intended for writers to understand the principles and rules of writing Konkani in Roman script.

Premanand Mahambre in September 2015

Tomazinho Cardozo was the second president and Jose Salvador Fernandes and Prabhakar Tendulkar were the secretary and treasurer respectively. Premanand A. Lotlikar was the President of Dalgado Konknni Akademi for three consecutive terms of 3 years each (2008 to 2017) while Vincy Quadros has been the secretary from the year 2014. There have been calls for the government of Goa to stop discriminating against Romi Konkani and officially recognise the DKA.[2]

The organisation aims to promote the study and development of the Konkani language in Roman script; recognize schools that promote the Konkani language; and hold cultural activities for the Konkani language, its literature, and the culture of its writers and speakers.
