Raising the issue through a starred question in the Lok Sabha, Dr Rawat suggested that under the Janjati Unnat Gram Abhiyan, a dedicated Gram Sabha should be organised in every village to prepare a comprehensive development plan for creating “Viksit Janjati Gram”. The proposal was appreciated in the House, with the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Union Tribal Affairs Minister terming it a constructive and effective suggestion. Responding to the question, Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram said the government would work on this suggestion. He informed the House that under the Janjati Unnat Gram Abhiyan, more than 63,000 tribal-dominated villages have been included across the country. He further said that the Prime Minister had launched the Dharti Aaba Janjati Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA) on 2 October 2024.
