Gumla, President Draupadi Murmu on Tuesday stressed the importance of education for the development of the tribal community and urged educated individuals to help the people avail the benefits of various government welfare schemes.
He said that the Center is working for the inclusive development of tribal communities so that development reaches the last person of the society.
Murmu was addressing the Antarrajyiy Jansanskritik Samagam Samaroh–Kartik Jatra in Jharkhand’s Gumla district, which saw participation of people, mostly from tribal communities, from the state, Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
Murmu said, “Education is the key to development. Education enhances personality, creates opportunities for development and becomes a medium for inclusive development and social justice.”
He observed that after getting education, many people prefer to settle in cities and do not return to their villages.
Murmu said, “We should visit our villages and make people aware about various government schemes and their benefits. The government will do its work, but we should also contribute after getting education. Government schemes will be successful only when people are aware about them.”
Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Chhattisgarh Governor Ramen Deka and Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai were also present at the ceremony.
He said, “This government believes in inclusive development of the tribal community and is working to take the development to the last man of the society. The government has launched many schemes in the name of Birsa Munda, to benefit not only the tribal people, but also those who are still deprived of basic facilities. The government is working on a mission mode so that they get all the facilities like housing, drinking water, roads, schools and others.”
Speaking on the demand for a tribal university in Gumla, Murmu said that she would make efforts, but expressed hope that the state government would fulfill the demand of the people.
