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?
Aadi KARMAYOGI stands for “Tribal Responsive Governance”, a bottom-up reform mission aligned with national goals such as PM-JANMAN, DAJGUA, and Mission Karmayogi. The programme is a whole-of-nation initiative rooted in tribal wisdom, empathy, and convergence.
Key Objectives:
- Build a dynamic cadre of tribal changemakers and governance facilitators.
- Bridge the last-mile service delivery gap through localized, participatory governance.
