<h1>Tribal welfare priority: government advances integrated development through administration, infrastructure and market-linked agreements for tribal products.</h1> Tribal welfare is the government's primary priority, operationalised by posting IAS officers in seven Integrated Tribal Development Agency areas, funding school and medical infrastructure, promoting tourism and food processing, and standardising homestays. Concurrently, the state executed multiple public private agreements to build value chains and market access for tribal products-covering plantation expansion, processing, retail and international marketing, turmeric and forest product initiatives, women's product marketing, homestay development, and education-to integrate administration, infrastructure and market linkages for tribal development.
