President Droupadi Murmu has taken various steps to improve the lives of vulnerable tribal communities in her state. Being a member of the Santhal tribe herself, she has launched initiatives to provide better healthcare, education, and employment opportunities for these communities.

One of her notable initiatives is the establishment of mobile medical units that provide healthcare services in remote areas. These units are equipped with all necessary medical equipment and staffed by trained medical professionals, improving the health outcomes of the tribal communities, who often face challenges in accessing basic healthcare services.

Another of Murmu’s initiatives is the establishment of Eklavya Model Residential Schools, aimed at providing quality education to tribal children. She has also taken steps to promote the culture and heritage of tribal communities, including the organization of events and festivals that showcase their art, music, and dance.

Murmu has also focused on providing employment opportunities to tribal communities. She has launched several programs aimed at creating jobs and promoting entrepreneurship among these communities, helping to improve their economic condition.

During her visit to Tripura in October 2022, she met tribal women working at a tea estate. “Delighted to interact with the women tea workers of Durgabari Tea Estate in Agartala. They represent the state’s social diversity and seem satisfied with welfare initiatives for them. I urged them to focus on the education of their children, particularly girls,” Rashtrapati Bhavan’s official handle tweeted after the meeting.
