As India marks 24 years of leadership under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gujarat stands out as a model of inclusive and tribal-centric development. Guided by the vision of “Viksit Bharat”, the state’s tribal belt — especially Kevadia — has seen transformational progress in education, skill development, and healthcare, thanks to long-term schemes like the Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana and Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas.

What once were underserved and overlooked regions are now centers of learning, empowerment, and wellness, proving that government-led development, when focused and sustained, can bridge the rural-urban divide.
Smart Classrooms Bring Digital Learning to Tribal Children
In Kevadia, tribal students now attend government schools outfitted with smart classrooms, digital tools, and interactive learning systems — amenities previously confined to private institutions. This educational advancement ensures that tribal children gain equal footing with urban counterparts, promoting long-term social mobility.
Ekta Skill Development Center Creates New Livelihood Pathways
Beyond academics, the Ekta Skill Development Center in Kevadia is preparing tribal youth for the workforce. Young men and women receive free training in diverse fields, including:
- Hospitality and hotel operations
- Tailoring and garment design
- Basic computer applications
- Soft skills and job readiness
The centre also provides job placement support, linking skilled youth with reputable employers and enabling financial independence.
Mobile Healthcare Revolution: Medical Camps at Tribal Doorsteps
To address health disparities in tribal areas, the Gujarat government has launched weekly medical camps at Anganwadi centers across villages. These camps offer:
- Free medical check-ups
- Child vaccinations
- Prenatal and maternal care
This approach eliminates the logistical and financial barriers to basic healthcare and supports healthy communities in remote regions.
PM Modi’s Viksit Bharat Vision in Action
Gujarat’s tribal development success reflects the sustained efforts of the Central and State Governments to uplift marginalized communities. With a people-first approach and strong inter-departmental coordination, the state is translating policy into real-world change.
What began as a vision under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership is now becoming a national template for how to create equitable development across geographies and social groups.
