Nation Celebrates Janjatiya Gaurav Divas Today

The Nation is celebrating Janjatiya Gaurav Divas today to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of the freedom fighter and tribal leader Bhagwan Birsa Munda. 

The Centre has marked 15th November as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, recognising the importance of keeping tribal history alive. Over the years, this observance has expanded into Janjatiya Gaurav Week, celebrated across ministries and states with cultural programs, exhibitions, and educational activities that bring the legacy of tribal heroes to



life.

Akashvani correspondent reports that over the past decade, the vision of tribal development has expanded into a nationwide mission. Today, 42 ministries actively contribute to tribal welfare through the Development Action Plan for Scheduled Tribes. 

The government has continuously emphasised the development of museums and memorials dedicated to tribal freedom fighters. 11 museums have been approved across ten states, with three already inaugurated, including the Bhagwan Birsa Munda Memorial Park-cum-Museum in Ranchi.
