Jharkhand CM Advocates for Tribal Regiment in Indian Army

Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has called for the creation of a tribal regiment in the Indian Army. He emphasized the significant contributions of tribal youths from Jharkhand and advocated for increased recruitment opportunities. Lt. General Ram Chander Tiwari has proposed an ecological territorial army for environmental conservation.

On Tuesday, Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren voiced his aspiration for the establishment of a tribal regiment within the Indian Army. Drawing parallels with the Jat, Bihar, and Sikh regiments, Soren underscored the importance of providing unique recognition to tribals nationwide.

During a meeting with Lieutenant-General Ram Chander Tiwari, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Command, at the state secretariat, Soren highlighted the remarkable contributions of Jharkhand's tribal youth to the Army. He argued for more opportunities in recruitment for the state's locals.

Lieutenant-General Tiwari suggested creating an ecological territorial army in Jharkhand to prioritize environmental conservation, as per an official communiqué. Champai Soren pledged full cooperation upon receiving a formal proposal from the Army. Such an initiative would see ex-servicemen playing a vital role in large-scale environmental protection efforts.

Later, Lieutenant-General Tiwari met with Governor CP Radhakrishnan.
