The state government is also doing commendable work to save the tribal society from diseases like sickle cell. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan deserves congratulations for all this. Tribal heroes fought fiercely against the British to save water, forests and land. Today, on the sacrifice day of Tantya Mama Bhil, I bow down to everyone.

The resolution of tribal welfare is also being fulfilled on the land of Madhya Pradesh. The PESA Act has been implemented in 89 tribal-dominated development blocks of the state, which provides rights to water, forest and land to the tribal community.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that he is a master trainer who explains the PESA Act. Today I have come to trend you all, so that our tribal brothers and sisters understand their rights and make themselves and their villages self-dependent by enriching them. The work of imparting training by making master trainers is going on in the state. 15-15 coordinators will be made in each development block. The work of changing the lives of the tribal class is to be done through the PESA Act. This is a great campaign, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan also made everyone resolve to walk together in this.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that many people conspire to grab the land of tribal society by marrying their daughters. I will not allow the game of love jihad to continue on the land of Madhya Pradesh. If someone cuts my daughter into 35 pieces, I will not tolerate this. If needed, a strict law will be made against Love Jihad.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that the state government will honor those who do good work and will not spare those who do wrong. Shivraj Mama's resolution is that he will neither eat nor let him eat. Dishonest beware. Raiding action will be taken at various places.

Adequate opportunities will be made available in rural areas for employment and self-employment. In the coming time, migration from Madhya Pradesh will be reduced to zero, so that the villagers do not have to go anywhere for employment.

Gram Sabhas will have full right to use water, forest and land of their village. The PESA Act will restore rights to the tribal society on the land that was snatched away by deceit. Tribal cooperatives will have the first right on the sand, gravel and stones of the village.

Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that religious and worship places will be renovated in the villages. Utensils for cooking food will be made available in every Gram Panchayat, so that the villagers do not have to rent utensils for organizing events.
