Minister Bikash Debbarma highlighted Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s vision of self-reliance at the Chakmaghat celebration, urging citizens to embrace the Swadeshi spirit and strengthen local initiatives under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan for inclusive national development.
With patriotic zeal and a renewed call for self-reliance, the Pandit Deendayal Jayanti and Atmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan were celebrated on Wednesday at the Chakmaghat Community Hall. The event, marked by cultural vibrancy and community participation, reflected a deep sense of national pride and commitment to indigenous development.
Minister for Tribal Welfare Department, Bikash Debbarma, graced the occasion as the chief guest, addressing a large gathering of community members, local leaders, and officials. In his address, the Minister paid rich tribute to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, recalling his enduring philosophy of Integral Humanism — a vision that continues to shape India’s path toward inclusive growth and self-reliance.
“Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s vision reminds us that self-reliance is rooted in self-confidence, and self-confidence is the foundation of national unity. Through the spirit of swadeshi and the growth of local initiatives, we are all committed to realizing the dream of a truly self-reliant India,” Debbarma stated during his speech.
The Minister’s words struck a chord with the audience, who resonated deeply with the call for Swadeshi Spirit — the belief in promoting local production, cultural heritage, and indigenous innovation. He highlighted that true progress lies not only in economic advancement but also in preserving the values of unity, self-confidence, and community-driven development.
The event served as both a commemoration of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s birth anniversary and a reaffirmation of the ideals behind the Atmanirbhar Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan, a national movement promoting self-sufficiency and empowerment at the grassroots.
As the celebration unfolded, attendees participated in a collective pledge to strengthen the nation through local enterprise, skill development, and the use of indigenous resources. The initiative aimed to remind citizens of the importance of relying on domestic talent and creativity rather than depending excessively on external systems or imports.
Cultural performances by local artists added a vibrant touch to the program, reflecting the rich diversity of Tripura’s tribal communities. Songs and dances celebrating traditional life, heritage, and the spirit of unity brought the gathering to life, underscoring the cultural foundation of India’s self-reliant journey.
Interactive sessions and discussions on grassroots empowerment followed the performances, where participants exchanged ideas on how to promote local industries, eco-friendly practices, and sustainable livelihoods. Speakers emphasized the role of youth and women in driving the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission forward through small-scale industries, entrepreneurship, and rural innovation.
Minister Debbarma also underlined the need for education, skill enhancement, and digital awareness in rural and tribal areas, noting that “true empowerment comes when individuals have both the means and the mindset to contribute to their own development.” He encouraged community members to align with government initiatives aimed at strengthening local economies and fostering self-reliant villages.
The Chakmaghat event stood as a symbol of collective determination—a reminder that Atmanirbhar Bharat is not merely a slogan but a way of life inspired by the teachings of visionaries like Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya.
