	==History==		==History==
	Daijiworld Media was a result of an [[April Fools' Day]] prank by Walter Nandalike, the now Editor-in-chief of the portal. He had migrated to the Gulf for employment, with no knowledge of computers. Having learnt about computers, he sent his first [[E-mail]] to his friends on April 1, 2000, mentioning that he was hosting a site on the Internet. This was just meant to be a joke but his friends took him seriously and started enquiring about the site. Surprised by their curiosity, Walter started thinking seriously about the project. He learnt computers thoroughly, and eight months later on 14 January 2001, launched ''www.daijidubai.com'', primarily with the objective of hosting information and news pertaining to [[Konkani language]] and society.
