Preps begin for Adivasi Mela next month
Ranchi: State govt has started preparations for hosting Adivasi Mela, its annual event to commemorate the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, in Ranchi next month.
The event, which will be jointly organised by the department of SC, ST, minority and backward class welfare and the department of information and public relations (IPRD), will be a three-day affair beginning from August 9, officials here said on Thursday.
To be held at the Morabadi Ground, the event will showcase the rich cultural heritage of Jharkhand's indigenous communities through folk performances, traditional cuisine, handicrafts, and indigenous art. "We are exploring the possibility of hosting the mela for three days to allow more artists, artisans, and performers to take part. A final decision will be made soon," an IPRD official said.
