Greetings on the occasion of the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples being celebrated across the world today. It is an occasion to recognize and celebrate a world view that connects humanity with the natural environment. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay

The tribals live in territories that are home to 80% of the world’s biodiversity. They have a deep attachment with their natural habitat and have a worshipful attitude towards nature. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay

In keeping with this year's theme of COVID-19 and indigenous people' resilience, it would be good to tap into their traditional knowledge and the natural wealth that might provide necessary immunity against the pandemic. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay

On this World Tribal Day, we must accelerate programmes for the tribal groups or Adivasis and the proactive steps to preserve their rich culture and facilitate their growth. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay

It is heartening that many tribal brothers and sisters are occupying leadership positions including constitutional posts in the government today. I appreciate the immense contribution they are making to India's rapid, inclusive development. #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay
