Art & Culture Dept should commemorate centenary year of renowned artiste Late Tukaram Fondekar: Digambar Kamat

Margao, Apr 7 (UNI) Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat on Wednesday said that Art and Culture Department should commemorate centenary year of renowned artiste Late Tukaram Fondekar.
In a statement, he said,'Late Tukaram Kashinath Fondekar selflessly contributed to music; especially to Sangeet Natak with his mastered art of playing harmonium. Government of Goa through Art and Culture Department must commemorate his birth centenary year by organising events and instituting an award or scholarship in his name.'
'I urge Art and Culture Minister Govind Gaude to prepare a Directory of all such artists of Goa which will help next generations to know of their contributions. Late Tukaram Fondekar gave music direction to various musical dramas accompanying on his harmonium or organ across Goa for almost five to six decades. He also provided accompaniments to various Kirtankars during festivals in various temples,' Mr Kamat said.
