Mayurbhanj Leads the Change — India’s Beacon of Tribal Leadership.

Mayurbhanj Recognised as Best Performing District under Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan.

The Hon’ble President of India today addressed the National Conclave on Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The event, aimed at celebrating the achievements and fostering dialogue on tribal leadership and governance, witnessed participation from officials, representatives, and tribal leaders across the country.

During the conclave, Mayurbhanj district of Odisha was honoured with the recognition of being the Best Performing District under the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan for its exemplary work in promoting tribal leadership and participatory governance.

The Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan is an initiative focused on developing tribal grassroots leadership and ensuring responsive governance at every administrative level. The programme seeks to empower tribal communities to take charge of their developmental priorities and integrate traditional wisdom with modern administrative processes.

Under this Abhiyan, Mayurbhanj district has prepared 1,363 Village Action Plans, formulated through the active participation of Adi Karmayogis, Adi Sahyogis, and Adi Saathis. These plans are designed to address local needs and aspirations while promoting sustainable development through community-driven initiatives.

The vision plans will be implemented through convergence of various government schemes and departmental programmes, ensuring coordinated efforts among departments and active collaboration with local communities.

The recognition of Mayurbhanj at the national level stands as a testament to the district’s commitment towards inclusive governance and empowerment of tribal communities. The initiative is expected to serve as a model for other tribal-dominated regions across the country in fostering leadership from the grassroots.
