CM Mohan Charan Majhi launches 63 projects in Malkangiri

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Sunday launched 63 developmental projects worth Rs 161 crore in tribal-majority Malkangiri district. Majhi launched the projects during the state-level celebrations of the 151st birth anniversary of tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda, observed nationwide as ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas’.

The Chief Minister inaugurated 28 hostels, built at a cost of Rs 55 crore to promote education among tribal students, and laid the foundation for 35 projects, involving an investment of Rs 106 crore, aimed at enhancing the district’s infrastructure and overall development, officials said. Speaking on the occasion, Majhi said the tribal community is the most unique and significant segment of the nation.

“Building a prosperous Odisha and a developed India is impossible without the empowerment of tribal people,” he asserted. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s tribal population is becoming empowered in both social and economic spheres, Majhi said.

“The observance of ‘Janjatiya Gaurav Divas’ is not merely a formal event; rather, it is a significant occasion to commemorate the glorious history, traditions, languages, arts, culture, and heritage of our tribal society, while fostering a sense of responsibility among the future generations to preserve those,” the Chief Minister said.
