Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to attend the ‘Tribal Pride Day’ event on November 15, 2026, via video conferencing from Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. The event marks the 151st birth anniversary of revered tribal leader Birsa Munda.

During the ceremony, the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation for 246 development projects, amounting to approximately ₹3,000 crore. These initiatives aim to enhance education, healthcare, livelihood opportunities, and community infrastructure for tribal communities across the country.

Among the projects, Modi will inaugurate 173 initiatives, including 38 Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) for tribal students and 100 multipurpose centers under the Prime Minister’s Tribal Campaign (PM-Janman).

Notable projects set for inauguration include the Tribal Research Institute (TRI) building in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, and the Ropuiliani Tribal Freedom Fighters Museum in Aizawl, Mizoram. These institutions are dedicated to preserving tribal culture and heritage. The museum commemorates the courage and sacrifice of Mizo tribal freedom fighters and showcases the rich cultural traditions and historical heritage of the Mizo people, named after the 19th-century Mizo leader Ropuiliani, who bravely opposed British colonial rule.
