Chief Minister Raghubar Das addressing the people of State on Thursday from tribal’s major gathering ‘Murma Mela’ organised annually at Mandar block said that we need to keep our rich customs alive through organising such events that is an amalgamation of our rich tradition and opens a door of opportunities by providing a platform to promote their artifacts.
The CM who annually visits the fair said, “I am here to take the blessings of tribal which will further give me strength to ensure overall development of different tribal communities. The State government with utmost determination is working for the revival and up-gradation of the tribal populace who are yet to be linked with the mainstream development. For the development of tribal people, approximately 52 per cent of the total budget is spent on various schemes.”
Notably, ‘Murma Mela’ is celebrated by Oraon and Munda tribes.
The fair has various flavours, ranging from religious sacrifice and worship to cultural activities like dance and music.
