Week-Long Janjati Gaurav Celebrations

The Janjati Gaurav Week will be celebrated across the country from November 15 to 21, marking the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda.

Birsa Munda holds a special place in India’s tribal history for his courageous struggle against British colonial rule. His resistance, sacrifice and contribution to the tribal movement continue to inspire generations.

As part of the week-long celebrations, the birth anniversary of legendary tribal freedom fighter Veer Shaheed Laxman Nayak will also be observed in Malkangiri on November 17.

The celebrations will focus on highlighting the sacrifices and contributions of great tribal personalities and introducing their legacy to the younger generation. Special emphasis will also be placed on protecting tribal culture, traditions and heritage.

Focus on Tribal Education, Health and Development

Apart from remembering tribal freedom fighters, the celebrations will highlight the importance of improving education, healthcare, livelihood opportunities and overall development in tribal communities.

Malkangiri, being a predominantly tribal district, holds particular significance in the observance of Janjati Gaurav Diwas.

The event aims to spread awareness about the rich history, cultural identity and contributions of tribal communities while encouraging inclusive development.

Malkangiri MLA Narsingh Madkami said that the primary objective of the celebrations is to bring the glorious history of tribal communities to the people by remembering the struggles of Birsa Munda and the sacrifice of Shaheed Laxman Nayak.

The Chief Minister’s visit is expected to give further momentum to the state’s efforts towards tribal welfare and development.
