Good to see the CM focusing on tribal development. Jharkhand has immense potential but our tribal brothers often get left behind in progress. Hope these discussions translate into real action on the ground. The land protection measures are especially important! 🙏

While preserving tribal culture is important, I hope the government also focuses on education and healthcare facilities in these areas. Many tribal children still don't have access to proper schools. Development should be holistic.

The caste census discussion is worrying. Instead of dividing people further, why can't we focus on uniting everyone as Indians first? Tribal welfare is important but shouldn't become political.

As someone from Jharkhand, I appreciate the focus on tribal land rights. Too often, tribal lands are taken over by outsiders. The government must ensure strict implementation of laws protecting tribal interests. Jai Jharkhand! 🌿

Meetings are good but what about results? Last year's promises for tribal hostels and skill development centers are still pending. Action speaks louder than words, CM Soren!

Preserving tribal languages is crucial for our cultural diversity. Maybe the government can introduce bilingual education in tribal areas? Our indigenous knowledge systems are treasures we must protect.
