Madhya Pradesh will celebrate Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas in memory of Bhagwan Birsa Munda on November 15. The event will be dedicated to tribal warriors. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the gathering and will also dedicate the country's first public private partnership-built Habibganj railway station at Jamboori Maidan in Bhopal.
The Union cabinet had also decided that as part of the Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, week-long programmes will be organised nationally from November 15 to 22 to commemorate the contributions of Birsa Munda as well as other tribal freedom fighters.
The sprawling venue of the Jamboree Maidan is likely to see two lakh tribals from across Madhya Pradesh and the entire venue is being decorated with tribal art and pictures of tribal legends.
PM Modi will be in Bhopal for four hours and on the stage for 1 hour 15 minutes, for which five domes are being built. Big pandals have also been built for the tribals. More than 300 workers have been engaged in this work for a week. The state government is spending more than Rs 23 crore for this programme, out of which Rs 13 crore will be spent only for transporting people to the programme to be held at Jamboree Maidan.
