  "account": "Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu inaugurated the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram on Saturday. The event not only marked a significant milestone in aviation for Andhra Pradesh but also showcased the rich tribal heritage of the state. A sea of 13,750 schoolchildren from various districts of the state performed a synchronized dance to the beats of Dhimsa, a traditional tribal rhythm. The Guinness World Records recognized the performance as the largest Dhimsa dance event, with 433 groups of 50 students each in synchronized circles. The Prime Minister praised the children's performance during his speech, and representatives from Guinness World Records issued a certificate to Tribal Welfare Minister Gummadi Sandhya Rani. The experience was a thrill for the students, who had previously seen the dignitaries only on television. Parents expressed appreciation for the government's acknowledgment of the cultural significance of the dance.",
