Gomantak Marathi Academy was a pro-Marathi organisation established in 1987. It had more than 56 centres working for the development of language and culture of Marathi population in Goa. The academy mobilised support for various activities like literature, culture, art, and drama,^[1] worked to make Marathi an official language in Goa, and believed that Konkani is dialect of Marathi. It contributed significantly to defending Marathi and its people in Goa.^[2]
