New Delhi, 11th May: A grand “Janjati Sanskritik Samagam 2026” will be organised at the Red Fort Grounds in New Delhi on May 24 to mark the 150th birth anniversary year of tribal icon Birsa Munda.
Organisers said the event is expected to witness participation from nearly 1.5 lakh people belonging to more than 500 tribal communities from across the country.
The cultural conclave is being organised by Janjati Suraksha Manch and has been described as a historic national gathering aimed at celebrating tribal identity, heritage and social harmony.
According to the organisers, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has accepted the invitation to attend the event as the chief guest.
Five Grand Processions to Converge at Red Fort
A major attraction of the conclave will be a large cultural procession featuring tribal men and women dressed in traditional attire from different parts of the country.
The organisers said the processions will begin simultaneously from five different locations in Delhi, symbolising India’s tribal diversity and traditions, before converging at the Red Fort Grounds for a massive public gathering.
The central theme of the conclave has been described as: “You and I are one blood: Forest-dwellers, Village-dwellers and City-dwellers, We are all Indians.”
The organisers said the event aims to strengthen national unity while showcasing the cultural richness and traditions of tribal communities.
Focus on Cultural Exchange and Social Harmony
According to the press note, the conclave seeks to honour the legacy of Birsa Munda, celebrate tribal culture and provide a national platform for dialogue and cultural exchange.
The organisers said this would be the first time such a large number of tribal participants from remote forest and hill regions would gather in the national capital for a cultural programme of this scale.
To manage the event, 20 separate departments and multiple committees have been formed for accommodation, transport, food, water, medical services, security and cleanliness arrangements across Delhi.
The organisers appealed to media organisations to provide extensive coverage to the programme, calling it an important national event focused on unity and cultural pride.
