On 2nd October 2025, during Special Gram Sabhas held across India, tribal villages and tolas formally adopted the Tribal Village Vision 2030 Declaration as part of the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan.

• The move aligns with the broader vision of Viksit Bharat@2047 and is a key milestone of the Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh (15 Nov 2024 – 15 Nov 2025) celebrations.

Key Features of the Tribal Village Vision 2030 Declaration

• Community-Led Development: Villagers actively participated through Transect Walks, Focused Group Discussions (FGDs), and Gap Analysis to identify local needs and development opportunities.
• Village-Level Priorities: Each Vision Declaration outlines actionable goals in education, health, livelihoods, infrastructure, and social and financial inclusion, ensuring locally tailored plans.
• Integration with Government Schemes: The initiative maps village actions with flagship programmes such as PM JANMAN, Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan 2.0, and various central and state schemes for coordinated development
• Institutional Mechanism: Every tribal village will establish an Adi Sewa Kendra—a single-window citizen service centre. Villagers will contribute one hour per week as Adi Sewa Samay (voluntary service) for community development.
• Technology-Enabled Governance: The AI-powered Adi Vaani App enables real-time communication between officials and tribal communities in local languages, ensuring last-mile delivery and feedback.

To operationalise the Vision 2030 framework, the government launched the Grassroots Leadership Model, centred on the Adi Karmayogi training initiative.
