Good to see the visit, but I hope the school closure in Jajpur doesn't disrupt the children's studies too much. These things need to be planned better to minimize public inconvenience.

The direct engagement with tribal youth and women in Simlipal is the most important part. Their voices need to be heard at the highest levels. A step in the right direction.
