His career as an activist of Konkani language has been a remarkable journey.
The founder of World Konkani Centre, Mangaluru, Basti Vaman Shenoy passed away on January 2, 2022 due to age related illness.
He was 88 and is survived by two sons and a daughter. He breathed his last at his residence in Thumbe, near Bantwal.
Mr. Shenoy had served as the president of Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy from 1997 to 2001 and had strived for the inclusion of Konkani in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.

The National Highways Division of the Karnataka Public Works Department was executing the project. It had commenced pushing the girder on April 17 from Manipal-end after KRCL engineers tested the structure. The RDSO conducted the statutory inspection in April last week, and was satisfied with the structure. However, KRCL did not allow pushing of the structure over the railway line stating that it had not received certified copies of the RDSO certification. This abnormal delay angered the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP, prompting him to send the SoS.
