The Chief Minister also stressed on education in the tribal languages from the primary level.

He said the state government would introduce books in tribal languages to impart education in the schools of the state.

He said the places in the Kolhan region where the historic Kol Revolution took place would be developed as a tourist spot that would help develop tourism in the state.

Tribals, particularly the Ho community, from all over the country participated in the deliberation and exchanged their views on the tribal issues.
