Janjati Sanskritik Samagam (Janjati Cultural Conclave) will be held on 24 May 2026 at the Red Fort Grounds in New Delhi, on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary year of the great national hero Bhagwan Birsa Munda Ji. Bhagwan Birsa Munda has been a symbol of resistance, cultural identity, and community consciousness in India.
This conclave has been envisioned as a historic national event. The presence of nearly 150,000 participants from more than 500 janjati communities across the country is anticipated. All these participants will be traveling to Delhi at their own expense. This will be an exceptionally large-scale cultural gathering. For the first time, the janjati community is coming together in such large numbers in the national capital to represent its religion, culture, and traditions.
A grand cultural procession will be the main attraction of this program. Janjati women and men from different parts of the country, dressed in their traditional attire, will participate in this procession and Delhi will witness the rich janjati culture and tradition during the event. The procession will begin from five different locations, symbolizing janjati traditions and cultural diversity. All five processions will converge at the Red Fort, where a public gathering will be held thereafter.
India’s Honorable Home Minister, Amit Shah ji, has kindly accepted the invitation to attend this grand public meeting at the Red Fort as the Chief Guest.
The central guiding thought of this cultural conclave will be: “तू-मैं एक रक्त (You and I are one blood) : Forest dwellers, Village dwellers and City dwellers, We are all Indians.”
The key objectives of this conclave are:
• To remember the legacy of Bhagwan Birsa Munda
• To celebrate the rich and glorious cultural traditions of the janjati communities
• To provide a national platform for cultural exchange and dialogue
• To strengthen the spirit of social harmony
For the first time, the citizens of Delhi are getting an opportunity to know and welcome our janjati brothers and sisters who live in remote forests and mountainous regions. Therefore, the people of Delhi are actively making efforts to ensure all arrangements for the lakhs of janjati brothers and sisters arriving from various states. Twenty departments have been constituted, and various committees have been formed to manage different aspects of the event. Delhi’s volunteers have made arrangements for accommodation, food and water, transportation, medical services, security, and cleanliness at multiple locations.
This is not merely a cultural event, but an important opportunity for people across the nation to come together on a single platform. We are confident that this cultural conclave in Delhi will further strengthen the national sentiment of “तू-मैं एक रक्त (You and I are one blood)”
