#TG Life
Late Caridade Damaciano Fernandes, a journalist, song composer and a celebrated novelist was a great son of Aldona village. He died 71 years ago on October 07, 1948. In a bid to felicitate and respect all those who gave their services and toiled to protect Roman Konkani, Dalgado Konknni Academi will be remembering Caridade Damaciano’s service to the Konkani language through a special programme ‘Caridade Damaciano Fernandes-ak Argam’. He has written and published over 100 novels. During his time people called him ‘Romansicho Patxai’, ‘Father of Konkani Novels’.
The programme will be held on Monday, October 07 at 4pm at the Parish Centre Hall, Aldona.
While Glen Ticlo, MLA of Aldona will be the chief guest and Francisco Fernandes, sarpanch of Aldona, the guest of honour, Fr Tomas Lobo, parish priest of Aldona will be the special invitee for the event.
Through this programme, DKA intends to create awareness among the people, particularly the youth, so that Caridade Damaciano Fernandes remains alive among the present day generation.
