♦ The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) hosted a National Conference of District Magistrates at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, to accelerate the implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN).

♦ Launched on November 15, 2023, to commemorate Janjatiya Gaurav Divas, the initiative seeks to enhance the socio-economic conditions of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) across the country.

♦ With a Rs.24,000 crore budget allocated over three years (2023-2026), PM JANMAN aims to bridge developmental gaps in tribal areas by providing essential services, including housing, healthcare, education, clean drinking water, road connectivity, and sustainable livelihood opportunities.

♦ The program is a collaborative effort involving nine Ministries and Departments, with the Ministry of Tribal Affairs serving as the nodal body.
