Madhya Pradesh to Celebrate Tribal Pride Day Over Three Days: CM Mohan Yadav

Bhopal, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Madhya Pradesh is gearing up to celebrate Tribal Pride Day in honor of tribal leader Birsa Munda’s birthday. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that this year’s festivities will span three days. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to kick off a Tribal Week starting November 11.

The state has one of the highest populations of tribal communities in India, comprising nearly 21% of its residents. There are 47 reserved seats in the state assembly, with 32 of them having over 50,000 voters from tribal backgrounds. Consequently, all political parties are keenly focused on this demographic. At a BJP state office meeting, party president Hemant Khandelwal and CM Yadav outlined the upcoming events for Tribal Pride Day.

CM Yadav stated that the celebrations will take place from November 14 to 16 at various locations. The inaugural event is set for November 14 in Jabalpur, an area significant to Rani Durgavati, followed by programs in Dhar and Khandwa.

During discussions about government initiatives aimed at the welfare of tribal communities, Yadav emphasized the administration’s commitment to providing social and political representation for these groups. He noted that two state ministers from the tribal community, Savitri Thakur and Durga Das Uike, are part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, ensuring representation at both state and national levels.

Yadav further highlighted the importance of commemorating the birthdays and martyrdom days of societal leaders, stating that these individuals have made significant contributions to society and the nation. Therefore, the BJP honors all such figures.

In response to concerns about tribal rights over land, water, and forests, Yadav assured that the BJP is actively addressing these issues. A special project has been launched in the Nimar Malwa region, with land leases being issued and registrations occurring under the Chief Minister’s registration scheme.

BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal detailed the events planned from November 11 to 18, which will include rallies, while state minister Sampatiya Uike discussed various government initiatives aimed at supporting tribal communities.
