Chief Minister Hemant Soren, while addressing a humongous gathering at the inaugural function of Tribal Dance Festival and Rajyotsava 2021 organised in Raipur, Chhattisgarh as the Chief Guest said, This is not just a dance festival, but an honour to those who have been educationally, socially and economically deprived. This is a message to the whole country that if we want, this class can walk with us. Departments are created in their name, but the community is deprived of its rights & facilities leveraged to them.

The CM said the Tribal Society lives around nature. Their fields, barns, cattle and forest produce are their wealth. It is commendable to see that the Chhattisgarh government is helping these communities by giving MSP in forest produce. I believe that the country and the State can develop only when the villages will prosper. Work should be done in the direction of increasing the purchasing power of the villagers and uplift of the underprivileged, backward, poor & marginalized section of the country, he added.
