Tribal artists perform traditional dance ahead of the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda in West Bengal
The programme will conclude on Nov 18 with sessions on tribal economic, educational and social empowerment, covering skill development, employment, scholarships, vocational training, agriculture schemes and digital financial literacy.
Nashik : A grand memorial to Krantisurya Bhagwan Birsa Munda will be established near Ozarkhed Dam in Dindori taluka to boost tourism and local economic growth, alongside a weeklong Janjatiya Gaurav Seva Saptah, guardian minister Girish Mahajan said. Mahajan said Birsa Munda fought against British rule for the rights of ‘Jal, Jungle, and Jamin’ (water, forest and land), and his sacrifice continues to inspire the nation. Inspired by Bhagwan Birsa Munda’s ideals, the Janjatiya Gaurav Divas Seva Saptah should become a people-led movement for meaningful change in tribal communities,” Mahajan said.
“Comprehensive tribal development, protection of rights, effective implementation of welfare schemes, and preservation of tribal identity are the govt’s priorities.
