Tura’s College of Community Science celebrated Jan Jatiya Gourav Diwas, also known as National Tribal Pride Day 2024, from November 15 to 26.
This occasion honours the invaluable contributions and rich culture of India’s tribal communities. The day is of immense significance as it commemorates the birth anniversary of the legendary tribal leader Birsa Munda, a great freedom fighter and protector of tribal rights.
Jan Jatiya Gaurav Diwas is observed annually on November 15, celebrating the contributions of India’s tribal communities, particularly in the country’s freedom struggle.
To mark the occasion, the college organised a series of activities and competitions reflecting the theme ‘Empowering Tribals, Transforming India’.
These events included a poster-making competition and a poetry competition centred around the theme. Additionally, a videography competition focusing on preserving the tribal way of life was conducted. A cleaning drive was also held at Chunmati Primary School and its surrounding areas to promote a cleaner environment for tribal children.
The celebrations concluded today with an exhibition of indigenous tribal foods from the North East, showcasing the diverse and rich culinary traditions of tribal communities.
Jyoti V Vastrad, Dean of the college, highlighted the necessity of empowering tribal communities to transform India and the role of tribal communities in preserving the culture and heritage of the society.
