PM Modi To Launch 246 Tribal Development Projects Worth Rs 3,000 Crore

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas programme in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli at 11 am on Sunday through video conferencing. Officials confirmed the schedule on Saturday.

He will address the gathering to mark the 151st birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda.

During the programme, PM Modi will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for 246 development projects worth around Rs 3,000 crore. These projects will strengthen education, healthcare, livelihoods and community infrastructure in tribal areas.

The Prime Minister will inaugurate 173 projects. These include 38 Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) for tribal students. He will also open 100 Multi-Purpose Centres under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN). These centres will provide essential services and support community activities.

Other inaugurations will cover projects under PM-JANMAN and the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA).

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

The museum will honour Mizo tribal freedom fighters and preserve their cultural heritage. It bears the name of Ropuiliani, a nineteenth-century Mizo chieftainess who resisted British colonial rule.

PM Modi will lay foundation stones for 19 new EMRS schools. He will also launch construction of 12 Tribal Multipurpose Marketing Centres to improve market access for tribal producers. Another 42 projects under PM-JANMAN and DAJGUA will receive foundation stones.

The programme will mark the conclusion of Janjatiya Gaurav Pakhwada, observed nationwide from November 1 to 15. Events included student interactions, a tribal literary festival, healer training, health camps and community service drives in tribal villages.
