The delegation also presented the latest edition of the organisation's monthly magazine Van Bandhu to Murmu.

It also tells the stories of Tilka Majhi, Kumram Bhim, Budhu Bhagat, Sidhu Kanhu and many others who fought against the British regime. There is also a list being drawn up to build memorials across the country that witnessed major tribal uprisings.
