The data revealed by the government shows that the number of LWE related incidents decreased from 1936 in 2010 to 374 in 2024. This significant reduction in violence is a result of the government’s multi-pronged approach to tackle Naxalism. The approach includes strengthening security forces, engaging with local communities, and addressing the root causes of Naxalism such as poverty, unemployment, and lack of education.
The government has been working to address the socio-economic issues in the affected areas, which have been exploited by Naxalite groups to recruit new members. The government has launched several schemes and initiatives to improve the lives of the people in these areas, including providing education, healthcare, and employment opportunities.
The government has also strengthened the security forces to combat Naxalism. The security forces have been empowered to take action against Naxalite groups, and the government has provided them with necessary resources and equipment to carry out their duties effectively.
The reduction in violence is not limited to the number of incidents. The number of deaths, including civilians and security forces, has also decreased significantly.

This reduction in deaths is a significant achievement, and it reflects the government’s commitment to protecting the lives of its citizens.
The government has set a target to eliminate Naxalism by 2026. To achieve this target, the government will continue to work towards addressing the root causes of Naxalism, strengthening security forces, and engaging with local communities. The government will also continue to provide necessary resources and support to the affected areas to ensure that the people there are able to live in peace and prosperity.
The reduction in violence is a significant achievement for the government, and it reflects the government’s commitment to protecting the lives of its citizens. However, the government is aware that there is still a lot of work to be done to eliminate Naxalism completely. The government will continue to work towards this goal, and it is confident that it will be able to eliminate Naxalism by 2026.
