Finally some concrete action for tribal land rights! The Kol community has waited too long for this. Hope the surveys are done transparently and land is distributed fairly. 🤞 The development projects are a bonus - infrastructure is badly needed in these areas.

While the land promise is good, I wish the CM had focused more on actual policy details rather than spending half his speech praising PM Modi. Tribal issues need undivided attention. The statue announcements feel like symbolic gestures when basic amenities are still lacking in many tribal areas.

Great initiative! Our tribal communities are the backbone of India's cultural heritage. Giving them land rights is the first step towards true empowerment. The ₹330 crore development package shows the government's commitment. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

As someone from MP, I've seen many announcements come and go. Hope this isn't just election season talk. The Kol people deserve more than promises - they need schools, hospitals and sustainable livelihoods along with land titles. The government must follow through.

Connecting this to Birsa Munda's legacy is meaningful. Our freedom fighters from tribal communities often don't get the recognition they deserve in history books. The medical college statue is a good step, but we need more substantial education about tribal contributions in our curriculum.

The land titles are important, but what about protecting tribal lands from mining companies and deforestation? Without strong environmental protections, these pattas might become meaningless in a few years. The government should address this elephant in the room too.
