Hyderabad April 26 The Confederation of Indian Farmers' Associations (CIFA) and Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages have joined hands to organise the 2007 edition of AP ThumsUp Rural Games this summer.

Announcing this at a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr P. Chengal Reddy, Secretary-General of CIFA, said competitions would be held in kabaddi and 50-kg sack carrying relay for men and relay running and rangoli for women.

In Andhra Pradesh, the 2007 edition would be kicked off on April 28 at Lal Bahadur Stadium. In order to make it accessible for all farmers, games would be held in 20 different towns.
