&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Adilabad (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Neither cinema nor television is a match for good old folk traditions when it comes to providing succour to distressed souls in rural confines. If it is the vigorous Kolatam in the plains, it is the rhythmic Dandari and the Ghussadi folk dances in tribal areas of Adilabad which are acting as escape valves for the emotionally charged farmers in the backdrop of the debilitating onslaught by weather this year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Though the evenings in rural areas in the harvest season are usually lively as villagers perform folk dances, the tradition has acquired a special relevance in this instance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is helping us forget our problems at least for the time being,&amp;quot;&amp;quot; says farmer Pasula Devanna of Jamdapur village in Adilabad mandal of the current significance of the cultural aspect as he is among those who suffered crop damage owing to inclement weather.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The rainfall has had such a devastating effect on the farming community in the district that collective activities like folk dances started taking place on a low key. Villagers however, gradually seem to be waking up to the assuaging quality of their culture which has resulted in these dances being organised in many a village now.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Atram Raju, a Kolam tribe leader and a former sarpanch of Daboli gram panchayat in the agency mandal of Jainoor reveals that there is a marked lack of enthusiasm among his people towards the evening folk performances this season. &amp;quot;I had to motivate them to come together for the dandari,&amp;quot; he says wanting to throw light on the plight of the farmers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The dwindling folk tradition, including dances and dramas, is actually a form of entertainment more observed on either side of Diwali festival and coincides with the harvesting season. &amp;quot;A good harvest gives us reason for celebrating festivals like Dasara and Diwali with much gusto,&amp;quot; says Bodipalli Raja Reddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A proper study to establish a connection between farmer suicides and folk tradition has not been done but there is a possibility of such a link being in existence. It has been observed that villages where people have given up cultural activities, like Ankoli village in Adilabad mandal, the incidence of suicides was on the higher side.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Adilabad (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Neither cinema nor television is a match for good old folk traditions when it comes to providing succour to distressed souls in rural confines. If it is the vigorous Kolatam in the plains, it is the rhythmic Dandari and the Ghussadi folk dances in tribal areas of Adilabad which are acting as escape valves for the emotionally charged farmers in the backdrop of the debilitating onslaught by weather this year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Though the evenings in rural areas in the harvest season are usually lively as villagers perform folk dances, the tradition has acquired a special relevance in this instance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is helping us forget our problems at least for the time being,&amp;quot;&amp;quot; says farmer Pasula Devanna of Jamdapur village in Adilabad mandal of the current significance of the cultural aspect as he is among those who suffered crop damage owing to inclement weather.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The rainfall has had such a devastating effect on the farming community in the district that collective activities like folk dances started taking place on a low key. Villagers however, gradually seem to be waking up to the assuaging quality of their culture which has resulted in these dances being organised in many a village now.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Atram Raju, a Kolam tribe leader and a former sarpanch of Daboli gram panchayat in the agency mandal of Jainoor reveals that there is a marked lack of enthusiasm among his people towards the evening folk performances this season. &amp;quot;I had to motivate them to come together for the dandari,&amp;quot; he says wanting to throw light on the plight of the farmers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The dwindling folk tradition, including dances and dramas, is actually a form of entertainment more observed on either side of Diwali festival and coincides with the harvesting season. &amp;quot;A good harvest gives us reason for celebrating festivals like Dasara and Diwali with much gusto,&amp;quot; says Bodipalli Raja Reddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A proper study to establish a connection between farmer suicides and folk tradition has not been done but there is a possibility of such a link being in existence. It has been observed that villages where people have given up cultural activities, like Ankoli village in Adilabad mandal, the incidence of suicides was on the higher side.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Adilabad (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Neither cinema nor television is a match for good old folk traditions when it comes to providing succour to distressed souls in rural confines. If it is the vigorous Kolatam in the plains, it is the rhythmic Dandari and the Ghussadi folk dances in tribal areas of Adilabad which are acting as escape valves for the emotionally charged farmers in the backdrop of the debilitating onslaught by weather this year.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Though the evenings in rural areas in the harvest season are usually lively as villagers perform folk dances, the tradition has acquired a special relevance in this instance.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;It is helping us forget our problems at least for the time being,&amp;quot;&amp;quot; says farmer Pasula Devanna of Jamdapur village in Adilabad mandal of the current significance of the cultural aspect as he is among those who suffered crop damage owing to inclement weather.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The rainfall has had such a devastating effect on the farming community in the district that collective activities like folk dances started taking place on a low key. Villagers however, gradually seem to be waking up to the assuaging quality of their culture which has resulted in these dances being organised in many a village now.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Atram Raju, a Kolam tribe leader and a former sarpanch of Daboli gram panchayat in the agency mandal of Jainoor reveals that there is a marked lack of enthusiasm among his people towards the evening folk performances this season. &amp;quot;I had to motivate them to come together for the dandari,&amp;quot; he says wanting to throw light on the plight of the farmers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The dwindling folk tradition, including dances and dramas, is actually a form of entertainment more observed on either side of Diwali festival and coincides with the harvesting season. &amp;quot;A good harvest gives us reason for celebrating festivals like Dasara and Diwali with much gusto,&amp;quot; says Bodipalli Raja Reddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A proper study to establish a connection between farmer suicides and folk tradition has not been done but there is a possibility of such a link being in existence. It has been observed that villages where people have given up cultural activities, like Ankoli village in Adilabad mandal, the incidence of suicides was on the higher side.

&amp;quot;It is helping us forget our problems at least for the time being,&amp;quot;&amp;quot; says farmer Pasula Devanna of Jamdapur village in Adilabad mandal of the current significance of the cultural aspect as he is among those who suffered crop damage owing to inclement weather.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The rainfall has had such a devastating effect on the farming community in the district that collective activities like folk dances started taking place on a low key. Villagers however, gradually seem to be waking up to the assuaging quality of their culture which has resulted in these dances being organised in many a village now.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Atram Raju, a Kolam tribe leader and a former sarpanch of Daboli gram panchayat in the agency mandal of Jainoor reveals that there is a marked lack of enthusiasm among his people towards the evening folk performances this season. &amp;quot;I had to motivate them to come together for the dandari,&amp;quot; he says wanting to throw light on the plight of the farmers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The dwindling folk tradition, including dances and dramas, is actually a form of entertainment more observed on either side of Diwali festival and coincides with the harvesting season. &amp;quot;A good harvest gives us reason for celebrating festivals like Dasara and Diwali with much gusto,&amp;quot; says Bodipalli Raja Reddy.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
A proper study to establish a connection between farmer suicides and folk tradition has not been done but there is a possibility of such a link being in existence. It has been observed that villages where people have given up cultural activities, like Ankoli village in Adilabad mandal, the incidence of suicides was on the higher side.

Folk art, the stress buster for distressed farmers-S Harpal Singh

-The Hindu Adilabad (Andhra Pradesh): Neither cinema nor television is a match for good old folk traditions when it comes to providing succour to distressed souls in rural confines. If it is the vigorous Kolatam in the plains, it is the rhythmic Dandari and the Ghussadi folk dances in tribal areas of Adilabad which are acting as escape valves for the emotionally charged farmers in the backdrop of the debilitating onslaught by weather this year. Though the evenings in rural areas in the harvest season are usually lively as villagers perform folk dances, the tradition has acquired a special relevance in this instance. "It is helping us forget our problems at least for the time being,"" says farmer Pasula Devanna of Jamdapur village in Adilabad mandal of the current significance of the cultural aspect as he is among those who suffered crop damage owing to inclement weather. The rainfall has had such a devastating effect on the farming community in the district that collective activities like folk dances started taking place on a low key. Villagers however, gradually seem to be waking up to the assuaging quality of their culture which has resulted in these dances being organised in many a village now. Atram Raju, a Kolam tribe leader and a former sarpanch of Daboli gram panchayat in the agency mandal of Jainoor reveals that there is a marked lack of enthusiasm among his people towards the evening folk performances this season. "I had to motivate them to come together for the dandari," he says wanting to throw light on the plight of the farmers. The dwindling folk tradition, including dances and dramas, is actually a form of entertainment more observed on either side of Diwali festival and coincides with the harvesting season. "A good harvest gives us reason for celebrating festivals like Dasara and Diwali with much gusto," says Bodipalli Raja Reddy. A proper study to establish a connection between farmer suicides and folk tradition has not been done but there is a possibility of such a link being in existence. It has been observed that villages where people have given up cultural activities, like Ankoli village in Adilabad mandal, the incidence of suicides was on the higher side.
