Pakhwada is being celebrated across the nation from 1st to 15th November 2025. The fortnight-long
celebration forms part of the year-long Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh observance marking the 150th birth
anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda — one of India’s most revered tribal freedom fighters and an
enduring symbol of resistance against colonial oppression.
Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had announced the observance of Janjatiya Gaurav
Varsh to honour the sacrifices, culture, and heritage of India’s tribal communities and to bring their
stories of courage and nation-building into the national consciousness. Under his visionary leadership,
the Government of India institutionalized Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on 15th November each year,
ensuring that the legacy of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and other tribal freedom fighters continues to
inspire future generations.
