Speaking after the felicitation, Rahaman said the Beary Academy will work for the upliftment of Beary literature and culture. He added that the academy works within a  framework of its own responsibilities, rules, and regulations.
 
Achar said, “The Tuluvas of Tulunadu are soft in attitude and character, and the Beary people being from the same region are also similar. Their cultures have some similarities with some of the traditions and words in Tulu being derived from the Beary language and vice versa”.

He said that the culture of any language should flow like water and will not be recognized if this is stopped.
