The investment of Rs 240 billion reflects the scale and ambition of the project, emphasising its potential to bring about transformative changes in the lives of tribal individuals and communities.

The scheme's multifaceted approach aligns with the idea of empowerment beyond just economic considerations, encompassing education and healthcare to create a more inclusive and resilient tribal society. The inauguration by Prime Minister Modi highlights the national importance of this initiative and underscores the government's commitment to addressing the specific needs of tribal populations in various states, starting with Jharkhand.

As the scheme unfolds, it is anticipated to serve as a model for similar initiatives nationwide, promoting a more equitable and sustainable development paradigm for tribal communities across India.
