Great to see the President highlighting tribal contributions. But I hope these schemes actually reach the ground level. Many tribal areas still lack basic facilities like clean water and healthcare.

Respectful suggestion: While celebrating tribal heritage is important, we need to ensure their land rights and forests are protected from corporate exploitation. Development should be sustainable.
