Underlining the government’s efforts to promote tribal products, PM said on Thursday that the Centre is working continuously to ensure that the demand for products made by Adivasis should increase.

“In the last eight to nine, events like Aadi Mahotsav that are connected to the tribal community have become a campaign for the country. I myself have become a part of several such programmes. The tribal community’s development and welfare is also a matter of personal relations and sentiments for me,” said PM Modi.

He furthermore adds that in Gujarat too, he had spent his life’s formative years serving his Adavasi brothers and sisters across the tribal belt from Umargam to Ambika ji. “Their lifestyle taught me about our culture, traditions, and heritage a lot,” PM adds. While addressing the people, the Prime Minister, also highlighted that now more than 3000 ‘Van Dhan Vikas Kendras’ have been established in different states of the nation.

“More than 3000 ‘Van Dhan Vikas Kendras’ have been established in different states of the country. Today the government is giving MSP on about 90 minor forest products,” PM said.

The Prime Minister further adds that today more than 80 lakh self-help groups working across different states in which over than 1.25 crore members are our tribal brothers and sisters and a large number of them are our mothers and sisters.

He emphasized that the 21st-century India is walking on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ and the Aadi Mahotsav signifies this spirit. “When diversities are woven into a thread of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’, India’s grandness emerges before the world. This Aadi Mahotsav signifies this spirit,” said PM Modi.

He stress that the demands of the products made by tribal society of India is increasing continuously and these products are also being exported to foreign countries. He also said the government’s focus is on promoting tribal arts and enhancing the skills of tribal youth.
