    Congratulations Asuntha on releasing your new book. It is not easy to publish a konkani book now a days and wish you all the best.

    Look out for planned release of stories written by AT Lobo scripted books. We need good support for Konkani books and help from all Konkani speaking families by buying a copy of the Konkani language books. It is difficult to sell 1000 copies of Konkani book now a days.
