Droupadi Murmu is India's 15th President; first tribal woman to occupy post


First tribal woman to occupy post

Murmu (64), a former Jharkhand governor, is the first tribal woman to occupy the top constitutional post in the country.

Known for taking decisions with an eye on the larger political message, the BJP is hopeful Murmu’s election will help its reach among tribals not only in her home state Odisha but also across the country as it has continuously strived to woo various disadvantaged communities to good political results.
