Governor Mangubhai Patel has said, “The PESA Act has been implemented to give the tribal society the rights of water, forest and land. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan himself is explaining it in simple language by going among the public. The PESA Act will take the tribal society to the pinnacle of success. Today, on the sacrifice day of Tantya Mama Bhil, I bow down to them.”

Governor Patel and Chief Minister Chouhan participated in the State-level programme on Krantisurya Tantya Mama Bhil Sacrifice Day at Nehru Stadium, Indore today.

Chouhan said that today the State-level programme on the sacrifice day of Krantisurya Jannayak Tantya Mama is not a mere a ritual but a declaration of social and economic revolution. The resolution of tribal welfare is also being fulfilled on the land of Madhya Pradesh. The PESA Act has been implemented in 89 tribal-dominated development blocks of the state, which provides rights to water, forest and land to the tribal community.

Chouhan said that he is a master trainer who explains the PESA Act. Today I have come to trend you all, so that our tribal brothers and sisters understand their rights and make themselves and their villages self-dependent by enriching them. The work of imparting training by making master trainers is going on in the state. 15-15 coordinators will be made in each development block. The work of changing the lives of the tribal class is to be done through the PESA Act. This is a great campaign, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also made everyone resolve to walk together in this.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that many people conspire to grab the land of tribal society by marrying their daughters. I will not allow the game of Love jihad to continue on the land of Madhya Pradesh. If someone cuts daughter into 35 pieces, I will not tolerate this. If needed, a strict law will be made against Love Jihad.

Chief Minister Chouhan said that the State Government will honour those who do good work and will not spare those who do wrong. Shivraj Mama’s resolution is that he will neither do nor allow corruption. Raiding action will be taken at various places.

Chouhan said that in the upcoming budget he will bring a micro finance scheme for the poor, in which an interest-free loan of Rs 5,000 will be given to the poor. Adequate opportunities will be made available in rural areas for employment and self-employment. In the coming time, migration from Madhya Pradesh will be reduced to zero, so that the villagers do not have to go anywhere for employment. He said that committees will be formed in every village under the PESA Act. One-third of the members of these committees will be women. Gram Sabhas will have full right to use water, forest and land of their village. The PESA Act will restore rights to the tribal society on the land that was snatched away by deceit. Tribal cooperatives will have the first right on the sand, gravel and stones of the village.

Chouhan said that medical and engineering education has been started in Hindi in Madhya Pradesh. The Government is paying the fees for higher education of meritorious students. Children should study a lot, don’t worry, their fees will be paid by Mama.
