In this festival, the tribal society and all the officers and employees of the society also participate in this festival with great joy. Along with many states in the whole country, the Chhattisgarh government has already declared a general holiday on the said day in Chhattisgarh. But the Chhattisgarh Government School Education Department is organizing a cluster level parent teacher conference on the said date, which is impractical. An order has been issued to organize World Tribal Day on 9th August 2024. There is a state of confusion regarding the presence of the teacher community due to the order to organize such events on the already declared holiday and the biggest festival of the tribal society. Along with this, there is anger among the employee community including the teacher community. The union has demanded to postpone the cluster level parent teacher conference and hold it on another working day. In case of not postponing the meeting, the organization will be forced to launch agitation.
