Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a series of development projects worth Rs 6,640 crore in Bihar's Jamui district, aimed at transforming infrastructure, healthcare, education, and livelihoods, particularly in tribal areas. Modi attended a function commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, marking 'Janjatiya Gaurav Divas.'

The PM unveiled a special commemorative coin and postal stamp in Munda's honor, before participating virtually in the 'Grih Pravesh' ceremony for 11,000 newly-built homes for tribal families under the PM Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN).

The projects launched include 23 mobile medical units (MMUs) under PM-JANMAN and 30 additional MMUs under the Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DAJGUA), aimed at improving healthcare access in remote tribal regions. Modi also inaugurated 10 Eklavya Model Residential Schools and 300 Van Dhan Vikas Kendras, designed to boost entrepreneurship and local livelihoods.

In addition, he launched two Tribal Freedom Fighters' Museums in Madhya Pradesh and two Tribal Research Institutes in Srinagar and Gangtok, to preserve and document the history of tribal communities. The PM also laid the foundation stones for over 500 km of new roads, 100 multi-purpose community centres, 25,000 houses under PM-JANMAN, and 1.16 lakh houses under DAJGUA, alongside 370 hostels for tribal students.
