Warangal: Minister for Tribal Welfare Satyavathi Rathod has emphasised the need for preserving tribal heritage and culture. Releasing a calendar that depicts the gotras of Banjaras here on Sunday, she said that preservation of intangible heritage contributes to the development of mankind.

"We need to transmit our culture and tradition to our future generations," the Minister said. She said that the TRS government has been working hard for the empowerment of tribals.
