Saha emphasized that his government has been prioritizing the socio-economic development of indigenous communities, highlighting the importance of honoring Munda's legacy. At a Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas program in Dhalai district, Saha inaugurated four Eklavya Model Residential Schools for tribal students, bringing the total operational schools in the state to 16. The Centre has sanctioned 21 such schools, which, once completed, will provide education to over 10,000 tribal students. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tribal Welfare Minister Jual Oram participated in the event virtually from Delhi. Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 246 development projects worth ₹3,000 crore aimed at improving education, healthcare, livelihood opportunities, and community infrastructure in tribal areas.",
