Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has announced plans to introduce a significant policy in 2025 aimed at promoting artists and preserving tribal culture. The announcement was made during the concluding ceremony of the 'Adivasi Mahotsav-2024,' which coincided with his birthday.
The two-day festival, held at the Bhagwan Birsa Munda Memorial Park-cum-Museum in Jail Chowk, celebrated the rich art, culture, and traditions of the tribal community. Soren emphasized that sports and culture are core priorities for his government. Recent initiatives include the construction of stadiums, developing playgrounds at the panchayat level, and organizing local competitions. He also highlighted the awards and financial assistance provided to athletes.
Addressing the economic concerns of artists dedicated to preserving culture, Soren promised that the new policy would ensure they can showcase their art and heritage with dignity. He acknowledged limited tribal representation in fields like trade, judiciary, civil services, medicine, and engineering but noted gradual progress. The festival featured performances by tribal artists from various states, including Mizoram, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tripura, and Chhattisgarh, and was attended by several notable figures including MLA Kalpana Soren and Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Maji.
