PM Modi launched Rs 6,640 crore projects in Jamui, Bihar, focusing on tribal welfare and youth empowerment.
-
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday unveiled several development projects in Bihar’s Jamui, highlighting the government’s commitment to tribal welfare with plans to improve infrastructure, provide training, and create employment opportunities for youth, all aimed at the holistic development of tribal communities.
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled development projects worth Rs 6,640 crore on the occasion of the commencement of the 150th birth anniversary celebration of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, in Jamui.
Prime Minister Modi also released a commemorative coin and postage stamp at the event.
Addressing the rally in Jamui, PM Modi underscored the government’s commitment to tribal upliftment, and pointed to the launch of the Dharti Aaba, Janjatiya Gram, and Utkarsh Abhiyan schemes, which aim to transform over 60,000 tribal villages.
“It was the NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee that created a separate ministry for tribal welfare. 10 years ago, the budget for the development of tribal areas and tribal families was less than Rs 25,000 crores. Our government has increased it 5 times to Rs 1.25 lakh crores.
Just a few days ago, we have started a special scheme for the development of more than 60,000 tribal villages in the country- Dharti Aaba, Janjatiya Gram, Utkarsh Abhiyan,” said PM Modi.
