As part of the ongoing Jan Jatiya Gaurav Varsh (JJGV) celebrations marking the 150th Birth Anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, the Government of India successfully organised Jan Sunwayi across more than 25,000 Adi Seva Kendras (ASKs) on 13 November 2025.

The nationwide exercise saw remarkable participation of tribal communities, government officials, and local representatives, reaffirming the Government’s commitment to inclusive and participatory governance.

During the Jan Sunwayi, villagers gathered at their respective ASKs to voice concerns, submit grievances, and deliberate on Village Action Plans under DAJUA. Discussions focused on livelihood opportunities, land rights, housing, healthcare, education, and access to welfare schemes.

Senior officers from multiple ministries, including the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ministry of Rural Development, Forest Department, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Panchayati Raj, and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, were present to address issues raised by citizens and facilitate on-the-spot grievance redressal.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, these national-level Jan Sunwayi exercises are strengthening grassroots democratic processes and ensuring that the voices of tribal communities are integrated into development planning and implementation.

The officers reviewed ongoing projects, provided directions for follow-up action, and encouraged closer departmental convergence to accelerate development in tribal regions.
