The mega quiz was conducted by a well-known quiz Master from Mangalore Professor Vincent Alva.  He is also a poet, singers, writer, emcee and a very good organizer. The mega quiz was inaugurated with lighting of the traditional lamp by the organizers on the dais.

Vincent Alva thanked the organizers for inviting him to conduct the mega contest.  He was very proud of the organizers for keeping the konkani alive.   It is only possible because of immense love the konkani community of U.A.E. and the association members to organize such a wonderful konkani quiz. Addressing the audience he told that he feels very small looking at the konkani love and programs organized outside of Mangalore being away from home and giving importance to Konkani.  If today Mangalore has any name it is because of various associations of U.A.E. and many other konkani associations of gulf countries and their dedication service to konkani.

The contest was interestingly held and the questions were fairly easy and quiz master cracked a few jokes and made the contest easy and spontaneous and comfortable.

The winners and runners of trophies were awarded to the winners by Mr. Joseph Mathias – MD of Merit Freight.  He also honoured all the participant of the contest.
