Modi govt gave tribals rightful recognition, says Amit Shah


Union Home Minister Amit Shah Friday emphasised the upliftment and empowerment of the tribal community, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the tribals their rightful recognition.
Interacting with students of the rural and tribal community from Santokba Dholakiya Vidya Mandir in Gujarat’s Dang district, he said language has been a barrier for tribal students in medicine, engineering and technical education.
To tackle the problem, the Modi government has provided the option for students to take exams in their mother tongue, Shah said.
“The upliftment and empowerment of the tribal community is our priority, and it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who gave the tribal community their rightful recognition after Independence,” he said here.
