Mangaluru: Konkani’s Premier Cultural Organization, Mandd Sobhann, has entered the 39th year of its existence. The Monthly Theatre Series has completed 23 years. To seek public support for its Konkani initiatives, a fundraising campaign called the ’Dhigo Abhiyan’ was launched and the 2024-25 Batch of Kalakul Performed the play ‘Ayrik Sayrik’ as the 276th program of the Monthly Theatre Series.

 

Renowned Chartered Accountant Olvin Rodrigues released the pamphlets and coupons for the Dhigo Abhiyan at Kalaangann, Shakthinagar and extended his best wishes. "Mandd Sobhann has been consistently doing excellent work for Konkani. They have made many sacrifices and put in a lot of effort for the development of the language and culture. Let’s also make some sacrifices and support them," he urged.

 

Mandd Sobhann has initiated this Dhigo Abhiyan (Support Campaign) for its Konkani activities and has provided an opportunity to win a Quarter Kilogram of Gold by purchasing a coupon worth only Five Thousand Rupees. The more coupons purchased, the greater the support for the organization and better the chances of winning. The draw will be held on 20.04.2025.
