Minister Kuvwar Shah stated that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will address the programme virtually on 15 November. The state-level programme will be held under the patronage of Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel and Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. It will be live-streamed via webcast, and adequate arrangements will be made to display it everywhere.

Directions were given in the meeting for hostels/ashram schools to organise essay and speech competitions and cultural programmes during the Tribal Pride Week. The meetings of the managing committees should be held on time. Special food arrangements should also be made for the students.

Directions have also been given to departmental high schools, higher secondary schools, and special schools to organise cultural and literary programmes during this period. Activities such as tribal dance, drama, music, rangoli, and painting should be conducted along with essay and speech competitions.

Directions were also given for tribal development block-level programmes. Programmes will be organised in each of the 88 tribal development blocks. Tribal Pride Choupals should be organised from 18 to 20 November in locally selected villages, ensuring the participation of tribal representatives.

Similarly, directions have been given to organise cultural rallies at each district headquarters level and to ensure the effective leadership and participation of ministers/local representatives. In tribal district-level programmes, the cultural rally should ensure a presentation of the folk art, traditions, and cultural heritage of the tribal community. The use of traditional tribal attire and musical instruments should also be ensured in the cultural rally.
