MoTA Launched ‘Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan’ – World’s Largest Tribal Grassroots Leadership Programme.

National | Dated: 24 Aug 2025

In August 2025, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) launched the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan, the world’s largest tribal grassroots leadership programme. The initiative aims to empower tribal communities, strengthen responsive governance, and promote local leadership across India, aligning with the long-term vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

🎯 Key Highlights:

  • - The Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan is designed as a nationwide leadership movement to train and nurture 20 lakh tribal change leaders. This extensive programme will span across 1 lakh tribal villages, covering 550 districts, and all 30 States and Union Territories (UTs) of India, ensuring large-scale participation and inclusivity.
  • - The programme builds upon the foundation of flagship initiatives like Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA-JGUA), Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN), and the National Sickle Cell Anaemia Elimination Mission (NSCEM). These schemes have already contributed significantly to tribal welfare and will now be integrated under the new leadership framework.
  • - A key emphasis of the Abhiyan is on the values of Sewa (Service), Sankalp (Resolve), and Samarpan (Dedication), reinforcing the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, Sabka Vishwas.” This value-based approach aims to bring sustainable and inclusive development within tribal regions of the country.
