Chief Minister Hemant Soren called for a resolve to build a prosperous state on the anniversary of Jharkhand's formation and Birsa Munda's birth.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday paid tribute to tribal icon Birsa Munda and marked the birth of Jharkhand as a state. According to ANI, the occasion serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ancestors to protect land, water, forests, and identity.
Soren stated on X that the creation of the state was the result of the struggles and martyrdom of many revolutionaries. He noted that the leadership of Shibu Soren, Nirmal Mahato, and Vinod Bihari Mahato remains an invaluable part of the state's history.
The Chief Minister said the government is working to improve schooling, medical services, jobs, and social security, while also supporting the rights of workers, farmers, and women. He added that the state's youth are its greatest strength and the foundation of its future.
President Droupadi Murmu also shared her wishes, describing the state as a land with a distinct identity rooted in tribal culture and traditions. Jharkhand was formed from the southern regions of Bihar on November 15, 2000.
Birsa Munda, who was born in 1875, led a tribal movement against British rule. His birth anniversary has been observed as Janjatiya Gaurav Divas since 2021 to honour the contributions of tribal communities to the freedom struggle.
