TFP Bureau, Raipur, September 14, 2025: Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Sunday attended the Thakur Joharni<\/em> celebrations organized by the tribal community at Narharpur in Kanker district, where he announced a series of development projects and reiterated his government\u2019s commitment to prioritizing Bastar and Surguja divisions in the state\u2019s new industry policy. Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda also joined the celebrations as a special guest.<\/p>\n

Participating in the traditional rituals, the Chief Minister prayed to the deities of the tribal community and extended his greetings on Thakur Joharni<\/em> and Navakhai<\/em>. \u201cThis festival is a unique expression of tribal tradition and identity. It must be preserved for future generations to strengthen unity in society,\u201d Sai said. He underlined that the new industrial policy of Chhattisgarh has been designed to create maximum opportunities for employment and self-employment in tribal-dominated regions, particularly Bastar and Surguja.\"\"<\/p>\n

Highlighting the state\u2019s educational progress, the Chief Minister said that institutions of national repute such as IIT, IIM and IIIT are functioning in Chhattisgarh to provide quality education. Alongside, institutions like Prayas and Eklavya are working to uplift tribal students, while Nalanda campuses are being established across the state. He also mentioned the operation of a Tribal Youth Hostel in Delhi to support higher education needs.<\/p>\n

Sai also emphasized the government\u2019s determination to root out Maoism. \u201cSecurity forces are continuously achieving major successes, and our target remains to eliminate Maoism completely by March 31, 2026,\u201d he declared. He added that the state government, guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is linking people to employment-driven sectors such as animal husbandry and poultry farming through the National Dairy Development Board. Welfare schemes such as Atal Digital Seva Kendras, higher remuneration for tendu leaf collectors, the Ramlala Darshan Yojana and distribution of Charanpaduka are also being implemented to ensure holistic development.<\/p>\n

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda, addressing the gathering, described Thakur Joharni<\/em> as a festival rooted in the deep bond between tribals and their land, water, forests, dance, music and traditions. He urged the community to remain vigilant about education, health and rights while preserving their cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
