Nearly three years after Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's announcement, the government has allocated funds and land for a Janjatiya Kala Kendra (Tribal Art Centre) in Umaria district, Madhya Pradesh. The CM unveiled this plan during his visit to Umaria in December 2023. The Kendra aims to merge eco-tourism with the preservation of tribal culture, specifically focusing on Gond, Baiga, and Kol communities - the very tribes that inhabit Bandhavgarh National Park.
A 2.5-acre plot of land on Tala Manpur Road within the district, approximately 35 km from Umaria, has been designated for the construction of the Janjatiya Kala Kendra. The project is estimated to cost Rs 13 crore. The center's primary goal is to educate visitors about the vibrant culture and lifestyle of these tribal communities. Speaking on behalf of the project, curator of Madhya Tribal Museum Ashok Mishra highlighted that the Kendra is anticipated to be completed within two years.
