Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Birsa Munda Birth Anniversary To Be Marked With Seva Saptah

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is set to mark the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda from November 11 to 18 with a week-long 'Janjatiya Gaurav Seva Saptah'. The administration aims to extend benefits of government schemes to tribal community members, assist with documentation, and raise awareness about health issues. An action plan has been prepared to preserve tribal culture and highlight contributions of tribal leaders.

The initiative, conceived by Tribal Development Minister Dr Ashok Uike and Project Officer Chetana More, will take place in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Beed, and Latur districts. In coordination with local administration and government departments, the week-long programme will offer information about government schemes, special service camps for obtaining essential documents like caste certificates, Aadhaar cards, and ration cards, voter registration, blood donation drives, health check-ups, and nutrition awareness campaigns.

Memorials of tribal freedom fighters in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Jalna districts will be beautified, and a Deepotsav will be organized at Ellora. Cheques will be distributed to eligible beneficiaries, and information on schemes for Scheduled Tribes will be provided. The main event to celebrate Birsa Munda's birth anniversary will be held at Ambika Lawns in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, featuring tributes and a commemorative ceremony.

The initiative aims to ensure government schemes reach marginalized sections, address tribal community issues, and preserve their identity and culture.
