Various schemes of the Central and State Governments are being implemented on priority basis in the State to improve the socio-economic status of the people of the tribal sections of the State.

Publicity campaigns need to be prioritised to make the people of the indigenous section more aware of these schemes.

Only then more people will be able to take advantage of these schemes. Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha said this in the review meeting of the Tribal Welfare Department at the Secretariat on Thursday.

In the meeting, after reviewing various projects of the Tribal Welfare Department, the CM said that the state government is working on a series of plans for the development of education, health, transportation, infrastructure, culture etc. in the tribal inhabited areas.

He added that the Prime Minister is also working for the overall welfare of the people of the tribal section of India which was not observed in the past days.

All the work done by the Public Welfare Department of the state should be brought into the light of publicity through social media as well as the news media.
