Jharkhand Foundation Day: PM Modi, Amit Shah Extend Greetings To State

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah extended greetings to the people of Jharkhand on Sunday on the occasion of the state’s Foundation Day, highlighting its tribal heritage, cultural traditions and development potential.

In a post on X, PM Modi described Jharkhand as a distinctive combination of tribal pride, cultural diversity and natural wealth. He further pointed to its dense forests, waterfalls and historical sites as key elements of its identity.

Recalling the legacy of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, the Prime Minister said stories of the tribal freedom fighter’s bravery and sacrifice continued to inspire the state’s traditions.

PM Modi highlighted opportunities in minerals, energy, handicrafts and tourism.

Expressing confidence in the abilities and determination of Jharkhand’s people, the Prime Minister said the state could reach new heights of development. He further wished residents happiness, prosperity and well-being.

Shah, in his post, described Jharkhand as a land of natural beauty, glorious history and rich tribal culture. He recalled the courage and sacrifice of tribal leaders Birsa Munda and Sido-Kanhu, expressing hope that the state would make further progress in development, prosperity and self-reliance.

The Home Minister invoked Baba Baidyanath in his prayers for the state’s progress.

Jharkhand became India’s 28th state on November 15, 2000, following its separation from Bihar.

The date coincides with Birsa Munda’s birth anniversary and is observed as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas to honour tribal freedom fighters.

Born in 1875, Birsa Munda led the Ulgulan movement against British rule and exploitation, becoming a lasting symbol of tribal resistance.
