Rangayana Director Addanda C Cariyappa said that the repertory has launched ‘Adivasigalatta Rangayanada Chitta’, a programme to reach out to the tribal community people, from Wednesday.

Addressing a media conference here, on Wednesday, he said, "There are two initiatives: Giri Rangapayana with a street-play ‘Arivinedge Adivasi’ (tribals towards knowledge) and Giri Janothsava, a convention with tagline ‘Namma Jana, Namma Samskruthi’ (our people, our culture)."

“Under Giri Rangapayana, ‘Arivinedge Adivasi’ will be staged in the evenings in 15 tribal colonies (haadi) of Kodagu district, from Wednesday. The first street-play show was at Bommadu, near Nagarahole. Twelve artistes were chosen and trained in a 10-day camp at the Tribal Residential School at Bommadu for the street-play, based on social issues. While Radha Kodagu from the tribal community is the convener of the streetplay, Na Srinivas is the director,” he said.

Cariyappa said, "Giri Janothsava is held at Karmadu in Kodagu district on February 23 to showcase the art and culture of the tribal people. Tribal people from various parts of the state will present their folk art. MLC Shantharam Siddi, MLA K G Bopaiah and Krishnamurthy of Vanavasi Kalyana will participate in a seminar."
