Jaipur. The Bharatiya Janata Party in Rajasthan is preparing for an extensive week-long celebration to commemorate the 151st birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and the broader Janjatiya Gaurav Saptah. National President of the BJP ST Morcha and Udaipur MP, Mannalal Rawat, announced that the state will host a series of events designed to honor the contributions of tribal freedom fighters, social reformers, and legendary figures who shaped the nation's history.
The commemorative activities are scheduled to commence on November 14 with a state-wide initiative to clean and maintain monuments and statues dedicated to tribal icons. This will be followed by evening lamp-lighting ceremonies at these sites to pay tribute to the sacrifices made by tribal leaders. To ensure the successful execution of these events across the state, former General Secretary Motilal Meena has been appointed as the state coordinator.
From November 15, the focus will shift to district-level morning processions and floral tributes at local statues of tribal heroes. The party plans to engage extensively with the youth through outreach programs in tribal hostels, where information regarding various central and state government welfare schemes will be disseminated. The week will also feature sports competitions, essay writing contests, and cultural exhibitions aimed at showcasing the rich traditions and history of tribal communities.
Rawat highlighted that the celebrations will also bring to light the inspiring stories of tribal talents mentioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his radio broadcasts. The party intends to honor contemporary artists, social workers, and achievers who have contributed significantly to national development. A special social media campaign will run concurrently to amplify these narratives and connect with the younger generation.
The state government has also proposed a major public meeting at Beneshwar Dham in Dungarpur district on November 23, where significant announcements regarding education, self-employment, and livelihood opportunities are expected. Rawat emphasized that these efforts reflect the BJP's commitment to the inclusive development of tribal communities, noting that the party has consistently worked to strengthen constitutional rights and provide equitable representation for tribal citizens in governance and leadership roles.
