In a spirited tribute to the valour, vision, and contributions of tribal heroes, Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh Pakhwada (1st-15th November 2025) commenced across the country with great enthusiasm.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Government of India has declared 15th November 2024 to 15th November 2025 as Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh.
The campaign, part of the larger Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh mission, aims to bridge the gap between tribal citizens and essential welfare services. In Tamenglong, the Duigailong Baptist Church Community Hall was recently converted into a vibrant public service centre, as per the release.
The campaign is a key initiative under the Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh, commemorating the legacy of the tribal hero Bhagwan Birsa Munda, popularly revered as Dharti Aaba.
