The Madhya Pradesh government will organise a three-day celebration on November 14, 15 and 16 to mark the birth anniversary of Dharti Aaba Bhagwan Birsa Munda, observed as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas (Tribal Pride Day).
State-level celebrations will be held in the presence of Governor Mangubhai Patel and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. The event will take place in Jabalpur on November 14, in Dhar and Jobat (Alirajpur district) on November 15, and in Khandwa district on November 16.
At the state-level programme scheduled in Dhar on November 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join through video conferencing and address people of the state.
Special Programme in Dhar: Governor Mangubhai Patel and CM Dr. Mohan Yadav will visit Dhar on November 15 and pay tribute to Bhagwan Birsa Munda. CM Dr. Yadav will also hold a roadshow in the district. During the roadshow, he will visit villages, interact with rural residents and seek feedback on the delivery of benefits under government schemes.
CM Dr. Yadav will also facilitate the registration of plots and houses belonging to eligible beneficiaries under the Chief Minister’s Registry Scheme (Ownership Rights Registration) in the presence of the beneficiaries. He will also present development projects worth crores of rupees to the people of Dhar district.
Making the occasion of Bhagwan Birsa Munda Jayanti even more special, CM Dr. Yadav will inaugurate the Dahi Micro Lift Irrigation Project on the same day. The project will provide farmers in Dhar and Alirajpur districts with irrigation water from the Narmada.
One Irrigation Project to Transform Agricultural Landscape of Two Districts: The state government’s efforts to accelerate development in tribal areas and ensure irrigation water reaches farmers’ fields, including those at the tail end of the network, are set to yield results. CM Dr. Yadav will inaugurate the newly constructed Dahi Micro Lift Irrigation Project at the state-level programme to be held at Police Ground in Dahi, tribal-dominated Dhar district, on November 15.
The ambitious project, which will irrigate fields with Narmada water, will open new opportunities for agricultural prosperity for farmers in 126 villages across Dhar and Alirajpur districts.
CM Dr. Yadav said that the government’s resolve is to ensure water reaches fields, farmers prosper and tribal areas establish a new identity in the mainstream of development. The Dahi Micro Lift Irrigation Project is a historic step towards fulfilling this commitment.
