Everyone is getting the benefit of the efforts being made by the government for the welfare of the tribal communities, he explained. The Minister said that development should be for all sections of society. He also added that people of the tribal community who have been living in remote areas of the country with their cultural heritage in the traditional way since time immemorial should be able to maintain their identity and continuity in it. But at the same time, according to the changing world today, tribal children should get the opportunity for education, health, and self-reliance in the true sense.
