Academy president Rahim Uchil, who formally flagged off ‘Halli Hallig Beary Sandal’ (Beary folk rally to villages), in front of the Academy office in the city, said that this unique programme would introduce the glory of Beary cultural to the people in villages.
The rally comprises several folk teams such as ‘Oppana Paat team’, ‘Kolkali team’, ‘Duff team’ and ‘Singers team’.
