Cultural competitions, including essay writing, drawing, and elocution competitions, will be organised by panchayats, which also will give prizes to winners, the DC said.

Performing cultural troupes will be part of the tableau, she said adding the tableau will depict the concept of the Constitution as envisioned by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, his bust, information about prominent personalities of the region, literature, art, culture and five government schemes.

The DC has directed Tahsildars to monitor arrangements for the jatha while appointing panchayat development officers as nodal officers for the programme.
