The Ministry of Tribal Affairs organized the National Conference on Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan with Project Officers of Integrated Tribal Development Agencies (ITDAs) at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
- The event focused on flagship tribal development initiatives like Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan, PM-JANMAN, and Dharti Aaba Abhiyan to enhance grassroots leadership and service delivery.
- Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan: The world’s largest grassroots tribal leadership programme, mobilizing 20 lakh change leaders across 1 lakh villages to act as catalysts of social transformation.
- Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan: It is a convergence-driven mission aimed at delivering essential services, schemes, and infrastructure comprehensively in tribal villages through coordinated planning
- Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN): A focused initiative to ensure housing, health, education, water, electrification, and livelihoods for Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
- A major highlight was the launch of Adi Sanskriti. It is envisioned as the world’s first Digital University to preserve and promote the culture and traditional knowledge of tribal communities, and an online marketplace for the world to access products made by tribal artisans. The platform integrates three major components:
- Adi Vishwavidyalaya (Digital Tribal Art Academy): Currently offering 45 immersive courses on tribal dance, painting, crafts, music, and folklore.
- Adi Sampada (Socio-Cultural Repository): A collection of over 5,000 curated documents across five themes, covering paintings, dance, clothing & textiles, artefacts and livelihood.
- Adi Haat (Online marketplace): Currently linked with TRIFED, this will evolve into a dedicated online marketplace for tribal artisans, enabling sustainable livelihoods and direct consumer access.
- Integrated Tribal Development Agencies (ITDAs), established in the 1970s and 1980s, are designed as specialized institutions to ensure effective delivery of public services and development programs to Scheduled Tribes.
