Adivasis to show cultural unity

Adivasis of Adilabad district are going to showcase their culture and traditions united on a big scale soon and this would be their last event before the formation of the new district.

Adivasis are being divided into Adilabad, Nirmal, and Mancherial districts. They have been agitating demanding the state government to create a tribal district with Utnoor headquarters consisting 13 tribal mandals to protect their culture and rights but in vain.   

The ITDA is conducting Girijana Samskritika Sammelan first of its kind to exhibit folk arts of various groups of tribals at Kumram Bheem complex on September 16 and 17 in Utnoor.

The Gond, Kolam, Thoti, Pardhan, Mannewar, Naikpod, and Lambadas will perform their  cultural programmes exhibiting their unique set of culture and traditions during the Sammelan.

ITDA, Utnoor project officer R.V Karnan said various tribal groups including primitive tribals would display their unique traditions, customs, art forms and gods and added that the event was intended to bring all the tribal cultures and art forms at one platform.

The programme was also aimed to make the new generation familiar with their tradition and customs and gods and to protect the Adivasis culture which is gradually disappearing with the influence of the modernity.   

Cultural groups comprising each 50 persons will be formed from each Tribal group and perform their art forms during the event. In charges will take care of their   respective cultural group.

According to official sources, tribals will take out a massive rally in the Utnoor town displaying their folk art forms on September 16 and cultural events will take place the next day.
