Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that in the districts of the state where the PESA Act is applicable, local tribals should be linked to new areas of employment. He called for tribal-dominated Panchayats to explore opportunities in fields such as cottage and village industries, animal husbandry, mushroom cultivation, lacquerware, honey production, silkworm rearing, and textile manufacturing. Dr. Yadav also instructed the formulation of action plans to ensure the effective implementation of these initiatives. Furthermore, he directed officials to assess the feasibility of assigning rural transport responsibilities to tribal-dominated Panchayats, with a detailed report to be prepared accordingly.
