In honor of the 150th birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, a revered tribal leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will engage in an e-samwad (virtual dialogue) with beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan (PM-Janman) from Jamui in Bihar on Friday, according to Gujarat CMO.
PM Modi will also launch the ‘Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan,’ a national campaign aimed at the upliftment of tribal communities across India.
As part of this initiative, a state-level celebration will be held on November 15 at Ahwa in the Dang district under the leadership of Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. Various events will be organized across Gujarat to commemorate ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Divas,’ with participation from ministers, Members of Parliament, and Members of the Legislative Assembly.
The main event will be held at the Police Parade Ground in Ahwa at 10 AM and will feature dignitaries such as Tribal Development Minister Dr. Kuberbhai Dindor, Dhaval Patel (Member of Parliament from Valsad-Dang and Lok Sabha Whip), Dang MLA and Deputy Whip Vijay Patel, and Dang District Panchayat President Nirmalaben Gain.
Prime Minister Modi’s virtual engagement with tribal beneficiaries from multiple states aims to foster improvements in the lives of tribal communities, raise awareness about government initiatives, and enhance the reach of these programs to remote areas.
Additionally, PM Modi declared this day as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Divas’ in 2021 to honour the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, a great revolutionary and warrior of the tribal community, and to pay tribute to this courageous leader on behalf of the entire tribal community.
