Mangaluru, Feb 19: ‘Divo’ Konkani Weekly will celebrate 25 glorious years and this silver jubilee celebration event will be held at Don Bosco Hall, Mangaluru on March 8 at 4 pm. Divo Konkani Weekly has extended an invitation to all the Konkani lovers to come and participate in the celebration.

As many as 25 years ago the inauguration of Divo Konkani Weekly was held at St Pius Church Hall, Mulund, Mumbai on April 2, 1995. It was attended by a large number of Konkani lovers. The birth of this Konkani Weekly gave a new life to Konkani related activities in Mumbai. Social-cultural activities got an encouragement all over the city which brought together Konkanis, to display their talents on the stage.

Divo Konkani Weekly gave a new dimension to Konkani journalism. Senior writers once again began writing, this encouraged new young writers to come up and the Weekly welcomed them all. Today after 25 years many of the senior writers are no more but their writings are loved by all even today. The emerging electronic media today is a real threat and challenge to the print media which is showing signs of weakness. However, with the support of Konkani lovers, Divo is continuing their mission.

Divo is the only laymen run Konkani weekly in Kannada script today that is published in print as well as ePaper edition. The Weekly has invited all Konkani lovers to this event.
