Bhopal, Aug 22

Aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of equal participation of tribal families under the ‘Dharti Aaba Tribal Village Utkarsh’ scheme, the BJP-led Madhya Pradesh government has started setting up the 'Adi Karmayogi' workforce.

The workforce, comprising bureaucrats, elected representatives, individual professionals and experts, including doctors and social workers etc., has been named 'Adi Karmayogis', the concept introduced by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs in 2024.

"Under the direction of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, a dedicated workforce of three lakh ‘Adi Karmayogis’ is being developed to empower tribal families and ensure that every family benefits from government schemes," the Madhya Pradesh government said in statement on Friday.

"The goal is to promote responsible, transparent, and accountable governance for tribal welfare. This aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of equal participation of tribal families in building a Viksit Bharat," it stated.

The government said that the initiative will benefit families living in 11,294 tribal-dominated villages across 41 districts in Madhya Pradesh.

Training sessions are being organised by Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation (BRLF) at state, district, block and village levels to prepare master trainers in Madhya Pradesh.

The first-round training session has already been completed, and the second round is set to begin on August 23 in Bhopal.

To review the progress of the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan, monitoring groups have been formed at the state, district, block, and village levels.

The Chief Secretary will lead the review at the state level, Collectors at the district level, and Sub-Divisional Revenue Officers (SDRM) at the block level.

Notably, ‘Adi Karmayogi’ is a national mission that aims to strengthen grassroots governance and services for the benefit of tribal families.

Across India, a cadre of 2 million district officials and other stakeholders is being developed, including 3 lakh ‘Adi Karmayogis’ from Madhya Pradesh.

The ‘Adi Karmayogi’ Abhiyan involves eight key departments, including Health, Education, Women and Child Development, Social Welfare, Rural Development, Forest, Panchayati Raj, Jal Jeevan Mission.

This Abhiyan will promote a comprehensive approach to tribal development from the centre to the block level and work to build trust in public institutions.

In the first phase, the campaign includes 326 districts across 27 states, including 41 districts from Madhya Pradesh.

Good to see focus on tribal welfare. But implementation is key - hope these 3 lakh Adi Karmayogis actually reach remote villages and understand local needs rather than just filling reports.

As someone from a tribal district in MP, I hope this brings better healthcare and education facilities. Our villages need doctors and teachers who stay, not just visit occasionally.

The multi-department approach is promising! Tribal development needs coordinated efforts across health, education, and livelihood sectors. Hope they actually work together instead of working in silos.

Interesting model! The scale is impressive - 3 lakh trained workers. Hope the monitoring mechanisms ensure accountability. Too often these programs lose steam after initial enthusiasm.

Hope they include local tribal youth in this workforce. Outsiders may not understand our culture and traditions. Sustainable development needs community ownership 🏞️
