The birth anniversary of Birsa Munda is celebrated as ‘Janajatiya Gaurav Diwas’ (Tribal Dignity Day) across the country. Birsa Munda led the Munda Rebellion against British rule. His struggle for tribal rights and self-rule made him a symbol of resistance and empowerment for indigenous communities.



“Jharkhand is today completing 25 glorious years of its establishment, which is a symbol of our inspiring progress in various fields. I wish all of you happiness, prosperity, and the continuous advancement of the state,” the CM said. He also greeted the people on the occasion of the 25th foundation day of Jharkhand.
