  "account": "Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy emphasized on World Tribal Day that tribal culture, grounded in harmony with nature, offers invaluable lessons for humanity. In his message, Reddy highlighted that tribal societies have long revered nature as divine, with forests being their mother, which has helped them preserve their unique identity, customs, and cultural heritage. He noted that the knowledge systems, traditions, collective way of life, and environmental consciousness of tribal communities continue to inspire and remain relevant in the modern world. Reddy pointed out that tribal communities have maintained environmental conservation as a core part of their lives for generations, with their sustainable lifestyle and respect for natural resources serving as important guidance for future generations. He called for greater recognition of tribal communities and urged society to respect and safeguard their rights, identity, and cultural heritage. Reddy stressed the need for collective efforts to ensure the welfare, development, and self-respect of Adivasis, while preserving their distinct customs, traditions, and way of life. He affirmed the government's commitment to tribal welfare and pledged continued efforts to promote the empowerment, progress, and socio-cultural well-being of tribal communities across Telangana. Various leaders, including MLC Ketavat Shankar Naik, MP Porika Balaram Naik, and MLA Mandula Samuel, attended the World Indigenous People’s Day celebrations held at Komaram Bheem Adivasi Bhavan in Hyderabad, where they extended greetings to Adivasi community members and called for collective action to protect tribal rights, culture, and traditions.",
