Droupadi Murmu started her political career in 1997 when she was elected as the councillor of the Rairangpur Nagar Panchayat in Odisha. Following this, she served several roles in the Odisha government from 2000 to 2009. Besides, between 2015 to 2021, she became the first governor of Jharkhand.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah talked about the significance of having a tribal president. He stated, “For the first time after Independence, a woman from a tribal community – that too among the most backward of tribes, Santhal – became the country’s first citizen. It is a very big victory for the country’s democracy.”
