To bring the followers of Mahatma Gandhi into mainstream and to allot them the land which they have lost in the freedom struggle, a convention on Tana Bhagat and Gandhian thoughts is being organised by Vikash Bharti to deal with essential issues of Tana Bhagats and their descendants covering various dimensions. The vital aim of symposium is to give emphasis on revamping the culture of Tana Bhagats and ways to resolve one of the most pivotal issues of land which have been lingering since long.
To restore the cultural legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and Jatru Tana Bhagat, initiatives will be taken both at the Centre and State level.
“The State Government will put efforts to restore the rich culture and principles of Mahatma Gandhi and Tana Bhagats, as they are the one who have upheld the Gandhian principles till date. If all goes well, separate museum will be established which will promote the ideology of Tana Bhagats and Father of the nation,” said Speaker of State legislative Assembly, Dinesh Oraon.
Emphasizing the importance of Khadi, Vikash Bharti, Secretary, Padma Shri Ashok Bhagat, said, “Khadi and other indigenous products are not available for Tana Bhagats at affordable prices. This serious issue need to be addressed immediately and must be brought into the limelight.”
“We are in consultation with several Government officials to resolve the land issue of Tana Bhagats. Apart from land, we need to focus on two other facets also, which include revamping and protection of Tana Bhagats identity along with maintaining their age old culture and rich legacy. Another area which needs attention is providing protection to Tana Bhagats at vulnerable places. It can be assured that through various endeavors, the struggle of Tana Bhagats will soon come to an end,” Bhagat further added.
