About Mithr
'Mithr' saw the light of the day for the first time under the editorship of the late Jo Sa Alvares in 1953. It was run successfully by renowned Konkani writers and journalists Austin Prabhu and Dolphy Cascia before it came under the banner of 'Sangati Media' run by us in 2003.
About Us
We foursome-Lloyd Rego, Richard Kavtar, Vitori Karkal and Rony Fernandes, established 'Sangati Media' in 2003 with a clear vision of serving Konkani. Our first step in this regard was to take over 'Mithr' from the able hands of Dolphy Cascia. Eversince we have published 'Mithr' continuously despite storms that often rocked our smooth sailing. We had taken up a responsibility which we have shouldered with great aplomb. We have received complete support from Konkani buffs and our readers in our mission. Despite facing a lot of hurdles, mainly owing to the spiralling prices in the printing industry, we have never allowed hurdles to obstruct our mission. We have been able to carve a niche for ourselves in Konkani media world owing over the years since we have worked sincerely and strived for justice always. Eversince one of Konkani's master poets Andrew L D'Cunha joined hands with us in April 2008, we have been strengthened further to carry out our mission and provide best of services to our esteemed readers.
About Norbert
Edward Norbert Pereira, who hails from Angelore in Mangalore, perhaps does not need any introduction. Despite being a talented composer and able singer, he has never performed in Mangalore's stage. His musical journey which started in 1973 has been a phenomenal one. He has performed alongside Konkani's top singers such as Wilfy Rebimbus, Henry D'Souza, Melwyn Peris, Claud D'Souza and others. He has also played as a drummer for Band “The Desert Rocks” for 12 years in Doha Qatar. 'Prathver Kallok Manddtana', 'Lharam', 'Mariya', 'Mira' are some of his songs which are a class apart. He has already released 3 melodious Konkani CDs too. He has been a winner of various inter-college singing competitions with prizes in Hindi Solo and group singing in the year 1976 – 1977. He was the winner of “Konkani Singing Competition” organized by Konkani Natak Sabha, Mangalore in the year 1976-1977. His new Konkani album 'Naach Tum Naach' will be released on this auspicious occasion.
It is our long-time ambition to provide him an apt stage to showcase his talent at Bendore where he is residing at present.

Eddie Sequeira and Jerry Rasquinha
They are a two-man army of Konkani. For years together they have been known as top-class comperes in Konkani.
