About

The National Tribal Festival 2025, popularly known as Aadi Mahotsav 2025, is a flagship event celebrating the vibrant cultural heritage, traditions, and economic contributions of India’s tribal communities. Organized by the Tribal Co-operative Marketing Development Federation of India Limited (TRIFED) under the aegis of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, the festival will take place at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in New Delhi from February 16 to 24, 2025.

CyberPeace Corps Role:

As part of the ongoing efforts to bridge the digital divide and empower tribal communities, Major Vineet Kumar, Founder & Global President, CyberPeace delivered an impactful talk at the Aadi Mahotsav 2025 in New Delhi. His session focused on the critical need for Cyber Literacy and Digital Safety, especially in the context of tribal artisans increasingly engaging with digital platforms for commerce and communication.

The talk highlighted key aspects such as:

  • Practical tips for protecting digital identities and online transactions
  • Risks associated with social media misuse, phishing, and online fraud
  • Steps artisans can take to secure their devices and data
  • Understanding the importance of cybersecurity in e-commerce and digital branding

Emphasizing inclusion and empowerment, he encouraged tribal participants to join the CyberPeace Corps, a national movement aimed at promoting cyber awareness and resilience at the grassroots level.


This initiative marks a significant step toward integrating digital safety into the fabric of tribal entrepreneurship, ensuring their growth is secure, informed, and future-ready.
