Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas is observed on 15 November to mark the birth anniversary of which leader?
- A.Rani Durgavati
- B.Bhagwan Birsa Munda
- C.Ropuiliani
- D.Tilka Manjhi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bhagwan Birsa Munda, known as Dharti Aaba. The Government of India designated 15 November as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas in 2021 to mark his birth anniversary and to honour the contribution of tribal heroes to India's freedom struggle. Option A is wrong as a birth anniversary, although Rani Durgavati's name is used for the Adivasi Mahila Sammelan held on 14 November, which brings together 500 tribal women entrepreneurs from 30 States and Union Territories. Option C is wrong for the same reason: Ropuiliani is honoured through the Ropuiliani Tribal Freedom Fighter Museum at Kelsih in Mizoram, one of the projects to be taken up on the day. Option D is a tribal leader not named in this year's programme. The 150th birth anniversary of Birsa Munda was observed as Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh in 2024-25.
