“Today, the government is trying to bring the Tribal and Adivasi people forward. But what is my responsibility? What will be the result of the government giving me so much support? That is why, from today, we have to be mentally prepared – not for ourselves, but for society, to change society, education, culture, tradition, economy, and to bring society forward,” she said.
