The governor said that no person is smaller or bigger than any caste religion, but is greater than his deeds. Ms. Uike said that the elders of the tribal society, that is, Mahadev, are the favorites of all of us, who protect the whole world. Every citizen of the country is free to follow their religion, sect, deity and their great men and follow their ideals, but when it comes to the interests of the country, everyone should work in unison.
The Governor said that the culture of tribal society is very great. There is immense reverence for nature in tribal society and in this reverence there is a sense of protection of nature. There is a sense of community and love harmony in our tribal culture. On this festival, the tribal society asks for permission for food storage and protection from the Sun God. It is such a great tradition that they are being asked to use their product from nature. This proves how much faith there is in the tribal society towards nature. Such a tradition is rarely seen anywhere else. The Governor said that since ancient times till today, the forest is safe in some form or the other, due to this spirit of tribal society.
