The Prime Minister launched the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan on 17 September 2025.
It is the world’s largest tribal grassroots leadership mission, from Dhar, Madhya Pradesh.
The Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan is a national mission led by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs under Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh.
The mission aims to cover 11 crore tribal citizens across 1 lakh villages in 30 states and union territories.
The campaign is being conducted during Adi Sewa Parv from 17 September to 2 October 2025.
It focuses on responsive governance through Seva (service), Samarpan (dedication), and Sankalp (resolve).
About 20 lakh officials, self-help group women, and tribal youth were trained as Adi Karmayogis.
Each of the 1 lakh villages will prepare a Tribal Village Vision 2030 document.
Village Action Plans will be created, linked to schemes like Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan 2.0 and PM JANMAN.
Each village will establish an Adi Sewa Kendra as a single-window service centre.
Residents will contribute an Adi Sewa Samay, which is one hour of weekly voluntary service.
Adi Karmayogi Student Chapters will be set up in Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management, All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, and central universities.
The Adi Karmayogi Fellowship will engage young professionals to work in tribal areas with national and international institutions.
The programme aims for the convergence of departmental resources and community partnership in development.
The mission covers 550 districts and 3000 blocks across India.
