Bhopal, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has said that the birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda is being celebrated as National Tribal Pride Day across the country. Tribal Pride Day is an honest effort to rectify a great injustice of history. After independence, the contribution of the tribal class was not given the place in history, which they deserved. Tribal society is the one who made Prince Ram a God. It led the fight for hundreds of years to protect India’s culture and independence. In the decades after independence, an attempt was made to erase the invaluable contribution of the tribal class. There was selfish politics behind this. The Prime Minister said that for the overall welfare of the tribal society, many schemes are being run and work is being done for their economic and social development. Prime Minister Shri Modi was addressing the National Tribal Pride Day organized in Jamui district of Bihar on the 150th birth anniversary of Lord Birsa Munda.

In this, schools and hostels shaping the future of tribal children, health facilities for tribal women, hundreds of kilometers of roads connecting tribal areas, tribal museums are dedicated and acceptance letters for permanent houses have been distributed to 1.5 lakh tribal families. Also, today on the day of Dev Deepawali, more than 11 thousand tribal families have been given entry into their houses. Prime Minister Shri Modi virtually inaugurated Shri Badal Bhoi Tribal Freedom Fighter Museum of Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh and Raja Shankar Shah and Raghunath Shah Freedom Fighter Museum of Jabalpur.
