Speaking about the Adi Shaurya festival, Union Minister of Tribal Affairs Arjun Munda said, “The Prime Minister has declared that the liberation of India was the dream of our heroes for a new India, an India where everyone has equality of opportunity, including the poor, farmers, labourers, and tribal people.”

Munda said, “The Central Government led by Narendra Modi has been working actively to promote tribal welfare and development and highly encouraging results have been recorded. As a result, tribal people are now prominent in all spheres of life. Adi Shaurya is a part of this episode, as through this ceremony, the people of the country have witnessed a glimpse of the tribal culture and heritage.”

The Second Day of Adi Shaurya garnered a bigger audience with a greater response from the spectators as tribal dances and the Military Tattoo stole the show, displaying a host of performances. The festival featured numerous energetic live performances by the Military and tribal communities highlighting the beauty of India's diverse tribal cultures from across India and promoting the message of Ek Bharat Shreshth Bharat, showcasing the might of the Armed Forces in a Military Tattoo. Students from Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) also viewed the programme online in large numbers along with huge presence of students from other educational institutions. 

Tribal dance troupes from states like Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand and Union Territory of Ladakh performed mesmerizing vibrant dances. Spectators were witness to exquisite dances such as Gaddi Nati from Himachal Pradesh, Siddhi Dhamaal from Gujarat, Balti Dance from Ladakh, Mangho Dance from Jammu and Kashmir, Purulia Chhau from West Bengal, and many more. A tableau exhibiting the tribal culture and heritage is also set to feature at the Republic Day Parade on January 26, 2023.
