    CONGRATULATIONS to all the Award Winners! This is recognition of your contribution to the Konkani Literature and art and a boost to continue to serve the Konkan Matha. Special Kudos to Br. Jocy Siddakatte, the Asst. Editor of Naman Ballok Jesu, Konkani Monthly, a budding poet, writer, drama writer and an artist. He has 4 books to his credit. Jocy has written and staged 4 dramas. He has won the FIRST Kittall Yuva Puraskar in 2011. His recent U-TURN is a master-piece. John M. Permannur, I came to know him personally when he directed the dramas written by Jocy Siddakatte to be staged for Carmel Day. He is an excellent director and he deserves the award. Andrew L. D’Cunha a brilliant poet. His few lines of poetry open up our mind to a new world of reality. Andrew is also a regular contributor to Jugul Bandi in Naman Ballok Jesu. Edwin J.F. D’Souza a seasoned writer and a novelist deserves such great honour. Congratulations to Fr. Francis Rodrigues for his creative writings.
