Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas marks the birth anniversary of which tribal leader?
- A.Rani Durgavati
- B.Tilka Manjhi
- C.Bhagwan Birsa Munda
- D.Alluri Sitarama Raju
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bhagwan Birsa Munda, honoured as Dharti Aaba. The Government designated 15 November as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas in 2021 to commemorate his birth anniversary, and his 150th birth anniversary was observed as Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh in 2024-25 with over 28 national events, more than 2 lakh activities and above 3.8 crore participants. Option A, Rani Durgavati, is wrong as the answer to this question, although her name does appear in the programme: the Rani Durgavati Adivasi Mahila Sammelan on 14 November brings together 500 tribal women entrepreneurs from 30 States and Union Territories. Options B and D, Tilka Manjhi and Alluri Sitarama Raju, are wrong; both are remembered as tribal figures of resistance, which makes them plausible choices, but the day is tied to Birsa Munda alone. Note too that a Bhagwan Birsa Munda Pavilion is planned in Odisha as part of the State-level activities.
