Addressing the program, Banshidhar Tiwari said that even though people of Uttarakhand have settled in the country and the world in search of employment, it is very important to remain connected to their culture and roots. He said that folk festivals like Igas are an important medium to keep our cultural identity alive, connect the new generation with our heritage and increase mutual interaction in the society.
