Prime Minister Narendra Modi was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the 150th birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda in Jamui, Bihar today. This program organized in Jamui was telecast live across the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his address that we have made an honest effort to remove a huge injustice in history. In history, the people of tribal society did not get the place to which they were entitled. Tribal society is the one which transformed the prince into a dignified man, Lord Ram. This society has increased the value of the culture and tradition of the country. Fought the British in the fight for independence. Thousands of heroes of the tribal community sacrificed their lives for their identity, culture and independence. Thousands of tribal brothers and sisters were killed in the country’s freedom struggle, we cannot forget their contributions. We have worked to enhance the pride of the tribal community. The credit for all the work that has started under PM Janman goes to President Smt. Draupadi Murmu ji. When she was in Jharkhand, she used to talk to me about extremely backward tribes. We started PM Janman Yojana with Rs 24 thousand crores, due to which settlements and villages of extremely backward tribes are being developed. By declaring tribal dominated districts as aspirational districts, all-round development was ensured, today a change is visible there.
At the beginning of his address, Prime Minister Modi congratulated the countrymen on the celebrations of the 150th birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda. He said that today is also Kartik Purnima, Dev Diwali and Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Ji. Today is the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda and also National Tribal Pride Day. Tribal society is a society that worships the sun, air, trees, plants and mountains. He said that Birsa Munda tribal parks will be created in the districts. Together we will make the ideas of the tribal society of the country the basis of the country’s progress. Will adopt their traditions and ideals.
