Chamra Linda emphasised that tribal students should aim to become IAS officers, as state administration depends on such officials. He also highlighted the pride and importance of tribal heritage, noting that tribal people contributed to the Mohenjo-daro and Harappan civilisations and had a long-standing presence in Chotanagpur since the 10th century.

Several dignitaries were present at the event, including Sisai MLA Jiga Susaran Horo, Father Nabor Lakra, Dr Father Ephrem Bara, St. Xavier’s College Vice Principal Father Dr Ajay Arun Minj, and Dr Father Kennedy Soreng.
