Hazaribagh: PM Narendra Modi Jharkhand Visit: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the people at Vinoba Bhave University in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand today, where he announced projects worth ₹80,000 crore. During his speech, he made several key points, summarized below.
PM Modi Delights the People of Jharkhand
PM Modi stated that he has inaugurated the Dharati Aaba Tribal Village Utkarsh Abhiyan, with an investment of around ₹80,000 crore. This campaign aims to develop around 65,000 tribal-majority villages across 550 districts, benefiting over 50 million tribal brothers and sisters. Jharkhand’s tribal community will also gain significantly from this scheme. He expressed happiness that the initiative has begun from the land of Birsa Munda, a revered tribal leader.
Launch of PM-Janman Yojana from Jharkhand
PM Modi reminded that on the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, the PM-Janman Yojana was launched from Jharkhand. On November 15, the first anniversary of the Tribal Pride Day will be celebrated, marking a year of development reaching the remotest tribal areas. The foundation of development projects worth ₹1,300 crore under the PM-Janman Yojana was also laid during the event.
Criticism of the Congress
Addressing the crowd at Gandhi Maidan in Hazaribagh, PM Modi accused the Congress party of neglecting tribal heroes. He claimed that, for its own family’s recognition, the Congress erased the identities of tribal communities who contributed significantly to India’s freedom struggle. The Prime Minister said the Congress focused on glorifying only one family, naming streets and buildings after them, while his government is giving proper respect to tribal heroes.
BJP’s Initiative to Build Tribal Museums
PM Modi highlighted that it was the BJP government that initiated the construction of Tribal Museums. The Dharati Aaba Tribal Village Utkarsh Abhiyan, launched in the name of Birsa Munda, is aimed at connecting tribal communities with government schemes that they haven’t yet benefitted from.
Development Projects Under the Janman Yojana
The Prime Minister detailed the PM-Janman Yojana, explaining that ₹1,350 crore is being spent on development projects, including roads and education in tribal districts. He also noted significant achievements in Jharkhand, such as the provision of clean water to 900 households.
Linking Mahatma Gandhi with Tribal Development
PM Modi referenced Mahatma Gandhi’s vision for tribal development, noting that Gandhi believed India could only progress if the tribal communities were uplifted. The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction that his government is focusing heavily on tribal welfare.
PM Modi’s Address at Vinoba Bhave University
PM Modi took the stage at Vinoba Bhave University, where thousands eagerly awaited his speech. He had arrived at the university at 2:15 PM, receiving a warm welcome from Union ministers and senior BJP leaders.
