151st birth anniversary of Birsa Munda | Tribals remain neglected for decades, PM Modi honours them: Gujarat CM

On Jharkhand's foundation day and the birth anniversary of tribal leader Birsa Munda, Chief Minister Hemant Soren called upon the people to honor their ancestors' legacy and strive for a prosperous state. The day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who protected their land, forests, and rights. Soren highlighted the contributions of tribal icons like Dharti Aaba Birsa Munda, Baba Tilka Manjhi, and Veer Sidho-Kanhu, who inspired the state's identity and heritage.

Jharkhand was formed in 2000 from Bihar, and Birsa Munda fought against colonial rule, dying at age 25 in British custody. The Chief Minister pledged to enhance education, healthcare, employment, and women's, farmer, and worker rights, emphasizing the youth as the state's greatest strength. He urged the people to preserve their ancestors' legacy, celebrate their culture, and work towards a prosperous, strong, and just Jharkhand.
