The committee included Tomazinho Cardozo, Premanand Sangodkar, Fatima D'Souza, Wilson Mazarello, Prince Jacob and Prasad Lolayekar (Director, Directorate of Art & Culture of the Government of Goa) as members.[10] The committee drafted the constitution and the Academy was registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 under No. 85/Goa/2009 on 2 February 2009.[10] The Government of Goa appointed Tomazinho Cardozo as the first President[11] of the Academy and the Academy was inaugurated on 16 January 2009.[12]
