Goa Yuva Mahotsav
Goa Yuva Mahotsav organised by Konkani Bhasha Mandal, Goa was born in 1996, to provide platform to Goa’s youth to present and enhance their talent in the field of folk-art, dance, music, dramatics, oratory, quiz etc. It however has a deeper motive attached to it. Goa Yuva Mahotsav was started to nurture and preserve the Goan identity amongst the youth. This identity encompasses the Goan culture, traditions, literature, music, art, folk, Goa's natural heritage, people's lifestyle, the food etc. The Mahotsav is an attempt to pass on this rich lineage to the next generation in a manner that they best understand. Hence the Mahotsav though in its competitive format has a wider meaning and motive attached to it.

Several Social issues have always found voice in the Yuva Mahotsav and hence we see the larger objective getting fulfilled. The Mahotsav has raised the issue of preservation of River Mhadai and has raised the issue of repeal of Regional Plan 2011 and SEZs in Goa. It has spoken about several social evils and has paved way to the aspirations of youths. It has given voice to discriminations and crimes against the weaker sections of the society and championed the idea of an equal world.

Making a modest beginning, Yuva Mahotsav today sees a participation of nearly 4000 students/youth across Goa and gives them an opportunity to present their diverse talents through the various programmes and competitions organized in the event. The events are witnessed by a crowd of over 10000 people drawn from all over the state. It has travelled all over Goa and is being organised in association with a local organisation or educational institute.
