The Minister of State for Tribal Affairs, Mr. Mahadeo Singh Khandela was also present on the occasion.
Welcoming the guests, Mr.. Kishore Chandra Deo said that the policy of inviting the tribal guests is aimed at giving an opportunity to tribals to witness the Republic Day. He stated that this practice is intended to help the tribals to overcome their isolation and hasten the process of their integration with rest of the society.
As per the practice followed since the first Republic Day Celebration in 1952, this year also the Ministry invited two tribal representatives, one female and one male from each State/ Union Territory as tribal guests to witness the Republic Day. This year States/Union Territories deputed 46 tribal representatives (21 female and 25 male). These guests represent scheduled tribes in the country from remote tribal areas in the country.
