He also revealed the future action plan for the welfare and socio-economic upliftment of tribal communities, which includes strengthening access to education, healthcare, livelihood opportunities, skill development, infrastructure facilities and awareness regarding the Government-sponsored schemes.   He directed all concerned departments to continue their outreach efforts and maintain close coordination to ensure effective implementation of schemes related to healthcare, education, social welfare, rural development, livelihood generation, and tribal upliftment. He informed that around 15 villages were covered under the Jan Bhagidaari initiative by organising public services and awareness programmes.
