On the occasion of the birth centenary of Baba Kartik Uraon, the revered educator and social reformer, a Bhoomi Pujan (foundation-laying ceremony) was held today in Ambikapur. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai attended the event as the chief guest.
Paying floral tribute to Baba Kartik Uraon, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai described him as “the pride of the tribal society.” He said that although Baba Kartik Oraon pursued higher education abroad, “he never abandoned his faith and culture.” Following the path laid down by his ancestors, he attained the highest education and devoted his life to guiding society toward enlightenment.
CM Shri Sai recalled Baba Kartik Uraon’s inspirational message — “The more we learn, the more we build society.” That thought, he said, “continues to inspire us even today.” Baba Kartik Uraon dedicated his entire life to the upliftment of the tribal community, the spread of education and the promotion of social unity. “We must follow the path he showed and commit ourselves to the holistic development of society,” the Chief Minister said.
During the ceremony, CM Shri Sai performed the foundation ritual for the upcoming Baba Kartik Uraon Chowk near the Municipal Corporation office in Ambikapur and announced an allocation of ₹40.79 lakh for the construction of the statue and the memorial square. He said the site would “stand as a lasting symbol of Baba Kartik Uraon’s ideals, vision and contributions.”

We must continue along the path he defined. By respecting our traditions, customs and cultural identity, he motivated us to move forward collectively.”
Member of Parliament Chintamani Maharaj said that Kartik Uraon consistently spread the message of unity, education and awareness within the community. “Today it is essential that we walk the path he showed, uniting society and binding it with the thread of solidarity so that the tribal community becomes strong and self-reliant and contributes fully to the nation’s development,” he said.
The event was also attended by Samri MLA Uddheshwari Paikra, Jashpur MLA Raimuni Bhagat, and a large gathering of distinguished citizens.
