During a virtual review meeting held from Raj Bhavan, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Dana Kishore, directed officials to ensure that the sanctioned funds are judiciously utilized for meaningful tribal development. He emphasized that the focus should be on empowering tribal farmers and unemployed youth by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities and improving public infrastructure.
