    In my opinion this is one of the most wanted cultural integration camp organised by St.Joseph Konkani Association Miraroad in this cosmopoliton city.Children are exposed to the rich konkani culture and find a flatform to bring the hidden talents to the surface.may this effort enlighten all the participants to preserve our mother tongue and its rich heritage.
