Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas: PM Modi To Launch 246 Tribal Projects Worth Rs 3,000 Crore

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas programme through video conferencing from Gadchiroli, Maharashtra, on Sunday at 11:00 AM.

The event will mark the 151st birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda, who led a significant movement against British colonial rule.

During the programme, the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for 246 development projects worth approximately Rs 3,000 crore.

The initiatives aim to strengthen education, healthcare, livelihoods and infrastructure for tribal communities across the country.

PM Modi will inaugurate 173 projects, including 38 Eklavya Model Residential Schools and 100 Multi-Purpose Centres under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN). These centres will provide essential services and support community-level activities in tribal areas.

Other major projects include the Tribal Research Institute building in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, and the Ropuiliani Tribal Freedom Fighter Museum in Aizawl, Mizoram.

The museum will highlight the history, traditions and sacrifices of Mizo tribal freedom fighters. It further honours Ropuiliani, a 19th-century Mizo chieftainess who resisted British rule and became a symbol of tribal courage and resistance.

The Prime Minister will lay foundation stones for 19 Eklavya schools, 12 Tribal Marketing Centres and 42 projects under PM-JANMAN and DAJGUA.

The programme will conclude Janjatiya Gaurav Pakhwada, observed from November 1 to 15.

The fortnight featured tribal literary events, health camps, healer training and community service initiatives.
