Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the state government is committed to the prosperity of tribal communities. Due to the government’s strategic efforts, tribal communities are progressing in every sector of development. The budget for tribal welfare schemes has been increased to ₹47,295 crore, which is ₹6,491 crore more than the previous year. With the government’s continuous efforts, Madhya Pradesh has emerged as a leading state in tribal welfare in the country.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that ample opportunities are being provided for the economic development of tribal communities. Following the philosophy of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” the government is ensuring that tribal communities benefit from various schemes and become self-reliant by being connected to the mainstream of society. He added that the Madhya Pradesh government has undertaken several historic efforts and innovations for the holistic development and welfare of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Dedicated efforts have been made to enhance the quality of life of tribal people and to preserve their indigenous culture. As a result, tribal communities have not only secured their rights but have also protected their rich cultural heritage.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that through the widespread promotion of education, tribal youth are being given opportunities to participate in competitive exams. They are also being provided with livelihood options and necessary resources to become economically self-reliant. Initiatives have been taken to link traditional tribal culture with livelihood opportunities.
The government has adopted a comprehensive approach to ensure the rights of tribal communities over, water, forests, land, and wildlife, along with their livelihood, education, health, and cultural preservation.
