The district-level orientation meeting on Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan (AKA) was held at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall, Zunheboto, on 11th September 2025.
The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commissioner Zunheboto, Dharam Raj, IAS. This was followed by a training session conducted by Graduate Teacher Bonoka Sumi, a District Level Master Trainer who had earlier received training from State Level Master Trainers. He shared the vision statement of AKA: “Empowering tribal communities through a decentralized, culturally grounded, and convergence-based cadre of committed change leaders to ensure last-mile delivery and co-create Viksit Bharat @2047.”
It may be noted that Zunheboto district currently has four District Level Master Trainers.
Further, the Deputy Commissioner held a discussion with the Heads of Offices on the concept of “convergence,” explaining it as the shifting of resources to another department for the welfare and development of that department. He also highlighted the crucial role of civil societies and NGOs, stating that they will act as facilitators for frontline workers at the village and block levels by helping to identify local problems, support community mobilization, and strengthen grassroots activities. With their involvement, the district aims to build stronger partnerships for community-driven development.
It was also emphasized that Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan is not a government scheme but a grassroots movement aimed at institutionalizing responsive governance.
The training concluded with a note of encouragement, urging all participants to work collectively towards the mission of empowering tribal communities and ensuring inclusive growth in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.
