Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that integrated welfare of tribal communities is the top priority of the state government. He emphasized that no individual from the tribal communities should be deprived of the benefits of government schemes. He said that the Bhilala community is a courageous and cultured community, which has resolved to eliminate social evils.

Dr. Yadav said that addiction is the root of destruction, ruining generations. The effort to eradicate social evils is a sign of social revolution. The Chief Minister was addressing the 12th Annual Conference organized by the Jai Omkar Adivasi Bhilala Samaj Organization at Kila Maidan, Dhar, on Saturday.

As part of the conference, the Bhilala community organized various programs such as a matrimonial meet for youth, employment registration camp, health check-up camp, de-addiction awareness camp, career guidance session, and awareness drives to eliminate social evils. The Chief Minister also inaugurated the newly constructed building of the Pitampur Police Station (Bagdoon).

Honouring Tribal Heroes

Dr. Yadav said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has enhanced the glory of the community by including a determined female leader from the Bhilala community of Dhar in the Union Cabinet. The state government renamed Alirajpur to Aali-Rajpur. It also honoured tribal heroes and traditions by establishing a university in the name of Krantisurya Tantya Mama and celebrating the birth anniversaries of Maharaja Shankar Shah and Kunwar Raghunath Shah in a grand manner.

He said that the tribal community has made invaluable contributions to freedom struggle. The government has given the Bhagoria festival state-level recognition, honouring tribal folk traditions.

Chief Minister Yadav emphasized the government’s goal to economically empower and make every community self-reliant. There is speedy progress in agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries, and industry. He said that there is no room for discrimination.
