About Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan

Adi Karmayogi is a National Mission for Responsive Governance to train tribal officials and community workers for effective governance. The mission adopts a bottom-up approach, participatory model in tribal areas.
Nodal Ministry: Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
Objective: To reform tribal governance by nurturing accountable leadership, ensuring responsive service delivery, enhancing welfare access, and fostering participatory, community-led planning.
It aims to build a cadre of 20 lakh trained, motivated, and mission-ready change leaders, who will operate in over 1 lakh tribal-dominated villages across 30 States.

Three Pillars of Leadership:
1. Adi Karmayogi (Government Officers): Key drivers of governance at State, District, Block, and Panchayat levels. They ensure convergence of schemes, institutional support, and responsive delivery.
2. Adi Sahyogi (Youth, Teachers, Doctors): Motivated service providers and educated tribal youth who bridge access to education, health, awareness, and innovation.
3. Adi Saathi (SHG Members (NRLM), Villagers, Tribal Elders): Grassroots changemakers and community anchors who mobilize people, preserve traditions, and uphold local wisdom.
The scheme follows a tiered training structure led by State Master Trainers (SMTs).
- SMTs trained at RPLs lead State Process Labs (SPLs), which train District Master Trainers (DMTs).
Regional Process Labs (RPLs): Hosted by Tribal Research Institutes, they enable field learning & exchange.
Convergence: Support real-time implementation of flagship initiatives like PM-JANMAN, Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan, and the National Sickle Cell Elimination Mission.
