School Education and Tribal Development Minister Kedar Kashyap said, “Tribal community is closely connected with nature. The practice of worshiping rivers and trees displayed their linkage with nature which also spread the message of environment conservation.”
He was addressing an introductory meet organised for youths belonging to the Gond Tribe, here on Sunday.
The Introductory meet was organised by regional Gond Samaj Kalyan Samiti at Gondwana Bhawan at Tikrapara in the city.
On the occasion, Kashyap has dedicated two rooms of Gondwana Bhawan constructed with the expenditure of Rs 15 lakh.
Moreover, the Minister also announced construction of an Auditorium with seating capacity of 500 people.
The Introductory meets provide youths an opportunity to know each other in a better way, believe Kashyap.

Besides, he also gave detailed information about residential schools and educational institutes run by the government for students belonging to tribal community and made an appeal to draw its benefits.
