A group of eminent tribal leaders from across India met President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today as part of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs’ flagship initiative, Adi-Karmayogi Abhiyan.
This marks the final meeting in the current phase of the campaign aimed at empowering tribal communities through inclusive governance and cultural preservation.
Addressing the gathering, President Murmu praised the initiative as a transformative effort to ensure tribal communities are not just beneficiaries of development but active co-creators of India’s future. She emphasized the importance of recognizing tribal rights, encouraging representation, and fostering accountability through community participation.
Since its launch in July 2025, the Adi-Karmayogi Abhiyan has mobilized 20 lakh individuals—including officials, volunteers, SHG women, and tribal youth—across one lakh villages. The campaign has also identified one lakh Adi Seva Kendras as single-window service and grievance redressal hubs.
The President highlighted the Dharti Aba Janjati Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan, which is delivering essential infrastructure to over 63,000 tribal-dominated villages. She also lauded the Forest Rights Act as a pillar of social justice and environmental protection.
A key highlight of the meeting was the introduction of Adi Vaani, the world’s first AI-powered indigenous language translation tool. Launched in beta this month, Adi Vaani uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to bridge linguistic gaps and promote educational access in tribal regions.
Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram, Minister of State Durgadas Uikey, and other senior officials were present. A film showcasing the impact of the Adi-Karmayogi Abhiyan was screened during the event.
