Context:
In a historic stride towards Viksit Bharat @2047, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs has launched the first Regional Process Lab (RPL) of the Aadi KARMAYOGI – National Mission for Responsive Governance in Bengaluru, Karnataka. This flagship initiative aims to build a cadre of 20 lakh tribal grassroots functionaries, empowering them as agents of inclusive, last-mile governance in tribal areas across India.
What is Aadi KARMAYOGI?
