Bhopal 15 November 2021: The Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has said that today India is celebrating its first Janjatiya Gourav Diwas in the true sense. After independence, for the first time in the country on such a large scale, this event is being organised by the Madhya Pradesh government to glorify and honour the contribution of tribes in tribal art, culture and freedom struggle. For this the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan deserves congratulations.
The Government of India has also decided that on 15th November every year Janjatiya Gourav Diwas will be celebrated on a large scale like Gandhi-Patel-Ambedkar Jayanti all over the country and the contribution of tribal society will be made to reach the masses. Today the Shivraj government is starting many schemes for the welfare of the tribals. This is a matter of great joy.
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the Janjatiya Gourav Diwas organised at Jamboree Maidan today. He launched various schemes of tribal welfare on this occasion. While launching the "Ration Aapke Gram" scheme, he handed over the keys of ration vehicles to Anil of Dindori and Laxminarayan of Mandla. Launching the Sickle Cell Disease Eradication Mission, the Prime Minister presented genetic counselling cards to Sushri Hasheela of Jhabua, Sushri Seena Dudve of Alirajpur and Manish Singh Sikarwar of Jhabua.
Short films were screened in front of Prime Minister Modi on Ration Aapke Gram Yojana, Madhya Pradesh Sickle Cell Mission and vaccination achievement in the state and tribal dominated village Narsinghrunda district Jhabua, which has achieved cent percent Covid-19 vaccination. Prime Minister Modi also performed virtual Bhoomi Pujan of 50 Eklavya Adarsh Residential Schools. Prime Minister Modi also dedicated Eklavya Model Residential School at Bajna in Ratlam district. Prime Minister Narendra Bhai Modi greeted the general public from the stage. He offered flowers to Lord Birsa Munda's picture on his birth anniversary.
In the programme, Governor Mangubhai Patel handed over appointment letters to Vivek Kumar Bharia and Sushri Pinky Sahariya, secondary teachers appointed for special backward tribal areas. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan handed over the appointment letter to Ravi Shankar Bhimseni Bharia.
The Prime Minister said that very beautiful and meaningful dance-songs have been presented here by tribal artists. I was watching them carefully. Every dance, song, lifestyle, tradition has some element of knowledge. Today this dance song was telling me that life is of 4 days, then it gets mixed in the soil, no one lives on earth, fields, barns, money and wealth have to be left here. It is futile to have conceit in the mind. These tribal brothers and sisters living in the forests tell us the best of life's knowledge. We are learning all this right now.
Prime Minister Modi said that the tribal community in Madhya Pradesh has set a good example before the educated class by getting both the vaccines against corona. They have played an important role in saving the country. He appreciated 100 percent corona vaccination in Narsinghrunda village of Jhabua district of Madhya Pradesh.
Prime Minister Modi said that tribal society has an important contribution in Indian culture. The cooperation given by the tribal society to Lord Ram during his exile made Maryada Purushottam. We get inspiration from the traditions, customs, lifestyle of the tribal society.
Prime Minister Modi said that the welfare of tribal society is the top priority of our government. The development of the country is not possible unless every person has a fair participation in it. Like every other section, the tribal community has also been given every opportunity to progress by the government. All the facilities like education, housing, electricity, gas, treatment etc. have been provided in the tribal areas also. Water is being supplied from tap to every household by launching the Jal-Jeevan Mission in the country.
Prime Minister Modi said that there is a huge potential for development in the tribal areas, on which continuous work is being done. A policy has been made to utilise the potential of the tribal areas properly. Building an Atma-nirbhar Bharat is not possible without tribal participation.
Prime Minister Modi said that the tribal artists have amazing abilities of creation. Today, the best artworks were seen in the Tribal Art Exhibition. There is amazing power in the fingers of these artists. Tribal artifacts and products are now being provided a suitable market by the government. Continuous efforts are being made to make them self-dependent. National/international markets are being made available to tribal products through the TRIFED portal.
Prime Minister Modi said that the Central and State Governments are continuously working for tribal welfare. The government has given leases of forest land to 20 lakh tribal people. For the education and skill development of tribal youths, 750 Eklavya residential model schools are being opened across the country, out of which the foundation of 50 was laid today. Every year 30 lakh students are being given scholarships by the Central government. In the next 7 years, 9 Tribal Research Institutes will be opened. Minimum support price of 90 forest produce has been declared by the government. Prime Minister Modi said that among the more than 150 medical colleges sanctioned by the Government of India, priority has been given to tribal-dominated districts. Similarly, in the Jal Jeevan Mission, 30 lakh families in Madhya Pradesh who are being provided door-to-door drinking water, most of them are tribal brothers. Before this the sisters and daughters of the tribal class used to go far and wide to fetch water.
The Prime Minister said that such changes have been made in the mineral policy, due to which the tribals have started getting benefits from the mining of minerals in the forest areas. Tribal class is a participant in the profit of 50 thousand crores from the District Mineral Fund. This wealth is of use for the tribal society. Employment prospects have increased in the mining sector. Prime Minister Modi said that the earlier governments had tied up the simple tasks like bamboo cultivation with laws, which have been amended and now the path has been cleared to meet the small needs of the tribals.
Prime Minister Modi said that coarse grains, which were once neglected, are becoming the brand of India. Work is being done to provide work and employment opportunities to the tribal sisters. Where earlier there was a system of support price only for 8 to 10 produce, now support price is being given on about 90 forest produce. There is no dearth of talent in the tribal class, but due to lack of will, the previous governments did not give respect to their creation. Their traditions were not preserved. Today in Bhopal, the evidence of their skills has been found by seeing the items made by the tribal sisters.
Prime Minister Modi said that the welfare of the tribal community is the top priority of our government. Unless every person does not participate, the development of the country is not possible. Like all other sections of the society, the government has provided every possible opportunity for growth to the tribal society. All facilities like education, housing, electricity, gas connection, healthcare etc. have been provided in the tribal areas also. The government has provided water to each household in the country via tap connections.
Prime Minister Modi said that there is a huge potential for development in the tribal areas, on which work is being done continuously. A policy has been made to properly utilize the potential of the tribal areas. Building a self-reliant India is not possible without the support and participation of the tribal society.
Prime Minister Modi said that the tribal artists are gifted with tremendous artistic skills and potential. Today, some of the best artworks were displayed in the Tribal Art Exhibition. The fingers of these artists possess immense artistic abilities. Tribal artefacts and products are now being provided a fair market by the government. Continuous efforts are being made to help these artists become Atmanirbhar. We are providing national and international markets to tribal products through the TRIFED portal.
Prime Minister Modi said that the Central and State Governments are continuously working for tribal welfare. The government has given lease of forest land to 20 lakh tribal people. For the education and skill development of the tribal youth, 750 Eklavya residential model schools are being opened across the country, out of which the foundation stone of 50 have been laid today. Every year 30 lakh students are being given scholarship by the central government. In the next 7 years, we will open nine tribal research institutes. The government has declared Minimum Support Price (MSP) on 90 forest produce. Prime Minister Modi said that among more than 150 medical colleges sanctioned by the Government of India, priority has been given to tribal-dominated districts. Similarly, under the Jal Jeevan Mission in Madhya Pradesh, the majority of the 30 lakh families who are being provided door-to-door drinking water belong to the tribal community. Earlier, the women and girls of the tribal community used to go far and wide to fetch water.
The Prime Minister said that we have effected changes in the mineral policy, due to which the tribals have begun receiving benefits from the mining of minerals in the forest areas. The tribal community is also a beneficiary of the 50 thousand crores coming in from the District Mineral Fund. This wealth is benefiting the tribal community. Employment opportunities have been increased in the mining sector. Prime Minister Modi said that we have amended the laws made by the previous governments, which inhibited the freedom of the tribal community to engage in simple works related to the cultivation of bamboo cultivation to fulfil their basic needs.
Prime Minister Modi said that coarse grains, which were once neglected, are becoming the brand of India. We are making efforts to provide employment opportunities to the tribal sisters as well. Where earlier there was a system of support price only for 8 to 10 produce, now support price is being given to about 90 forest produce. There is no dearth of talent in the tribal community, but due to lack of will, the previous governments did not give respect to their work. Their traditions were not preserved. Today, in Bhopal, we have seen the evidence of their artistic skills in the items that were exhibited.
Prime Minister Modi said that where only ₹40 thousand was spent per student, now an amount one lakh is being spent annually. Tribal students are also being provided opportunities for higher education and research. Till a few years back, there were 18 Tribal Research Centers in the country, which we increased to 27 centers. In the new education policy, the children from tribal community will also get the benefit of receiving education in their mother tongue.
Prime Minister Modi said that the tribal class is the assets of the country. They are the strength of the country. The spirit of service and hard work is in their nature. Shivraj ji has presented an example of this service by way of launching Ration Aapke Gram Yojana, Sickle Cell Anemia Mission today. The tribal community was also benefitted by the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana even during the Corona period. Now with the introduction of this new scheme in Madhya Pradesh, one will be able to save time and energy by receiving inexpensive ration in the comfort of one’s own village or home.
Prime Minister Modi said that today itself he has dedicated the virtual museum of Bhagwan Birsa Munda in Ranchi. It is our duty to educate the new generation and the contribution of tribal heroes. Whether it is Rani Durgavati or Rani Kamalapati, the nation cannot forget them. The significant contributions made by the tribal community was not promoted for decades even after the independence. The cultural achievements of about 10 percent of the tribal population of the country were ignored.
The Prime Minister Modi also condoled the passing away of Babasaheb Purandare, a historian and writer of nearly 100 years who passed away today. Babasaheb Purandare took the history of Shivaji Maharaj to the masses. For his contributions, the Government of India honoured Baba Purandare ji with the prestigious Award Padma Vibhushan while the Government of Madhya Pradesh honoured him with the Kalidas Samman.
Prime Minister Modi said that the Governor of the State, Mangubhai Patel, is the first Tribal Governor of Madhya Pradesh. He spent his whole life for the welfare of the tribal community. Prime Minister Modi said that on this day, we also take a pledge that we will continually work for the development of the nation. Prime Minister Modi congratulated all the citizens on the occasion of Birsa Munda Jayanti and Amrit Mahotsav of Independence.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Prime Minister Modi has restored tribal pride in India. The decision to nationally celebrate the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda on November 15 every year as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas is historic. The honor of Bhagwan Birsa Munda is the honour of the entire tribe. He said that the Prime Minister Modi has done a great service to the tribal community by renaming the newly constructed railway station in Bhopal after the tribal queen Kamalapati. On behalf of eight and a half crore people of the state, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Modi.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that organizing Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas is actually a campaign to transform the lives of the tribals. This is a resolution taken by the government for the welfare, honor and pride of the tribes.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that Prime Minister Modi has given us a lifeline in the form of an indigenously made vaccine. The whole world has appreciated it. From food to education to employment, he has ensured that every need of each person is fully met. He brought down the prices of diesel and petrol significantly. The cost of DAP fertilizer has also been reduced. No one sleeps hungry under Modi ji’s regime. He distributed free ration during the Corona period. Under the PM Awas Yojana, housing is being made available for all.
