Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister highlighted that over 94% of Mizoram’s population belongs to tribal communities, and emphasized that schemes introduced by the Central Government for tribal welfare directly benefit the state. He stated that state-level development initiatives also aim to uplift tribal populations, given the demographic composition of Mizoram.
Pu Lalduhoma appreciated the Union Government’s focused approach and said the state is committed to implementing the DAJGUA programme effectively. He assured that all eligible beneficiaries will receive proper support under the initiative.
Following his address, the CM interacted with stakeholders and listened to their feedback and suggestions.
DAJGUA is a flagship initiative of the Central Government, aimed at transforming tribal villages and empowering tribal communities through education, awareness, and delivery of government services. The campaign is aligned with India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047.
