Amaravati, Aug 9 : Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer has called for preserving the traditions and cultural identity of tribals.

On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, he said that indigenous communities make invaluable contributions to our society, culture and heritage.

“Their rich traditions, cultural identity and traditional knowledge must be preserved, while ensuring their rights, dignity, equal opportunities and inclusive development,” he said.

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu conveyed heartfelt greetings to all tribal brothers and sisters on the occasion of World Indigenous Peoples' Day.

He stated that the tribal culture, traditions, and their unique way of life intertwined with forests and nature are a great source of pride for the society. He said the government has set the goal to improve education, health, and employment for indigenous people and remains committed to their holistic development.

“The government is continuously striving with the aim of enhancing the self-respect of tribals, their self-reliance, and progress,” he said.

Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said in his message on the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples that tribal communities are the eternal guardians of forests, custodians of ancient wisdom and living soul of Bharat’s rich cultural heritage.

“The forests have protected our Tribal communities for generations, and in return, they have protected the forests as guardians of nature, culture and ancient wisdom. On the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all my Tribal brothers and sisters,” said the Jana Sena leader.

“This year’s theme, “Honouring Indigenous Midwives: Safeguarding Life and Well-being,” reminds us of the invaluable traditional knowledge passed down through generations and the vital role Indigenous women and communities play in protecting life, health, culture and heritage. My bond with our Tribal communities is deeply personal. Their affection and trust have always strengthened my resolve to work for their dignity and welfare,” he said.

“Through initiatives such as Adavi Thalli Baata, improved connectivity to remote habitations, livelihood opportunities, and stronger protection of forests and wildlife, we are working to ensure that development reaches every Tribal family while their identity and traditions remain protected. Their trust is a responsibility. Their heritage is our pride. Their progress is our commitment. Let us walk together towards a future where every Tribal family lives with dignity, opportunity, security and hope,” the Deputy Chief Minister added.
