BJP govt working to upgrade health, education infrastructure: Tripura CM

A new law institute and a dental college will soon be set up in the state, said Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha. 

While inaugurating 15 log huts at Dhalai district’s Dumbur Lake, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said that the BJP-led government in the state had been making all efforts to upgrade health and education infrastructure. He unveiled these log huts in the presence of Tourism Minister Pranajit Singha Roy and MP Rebati Tripura and this place is expected to be one of the most sought-after tourist destinations of the state.

Steps have been initiated to create facilities similar to the ones available at Meghalaya’s NEIGRIHMS in Tripura Medical College (TMC), he said.

"If we get to convert TMC into a facility like the NEIGRIMS, the state will immensely benefit from the move, be it in the field of medical education or treatment. The number of postgraduate courses in TMC has already been increased," Saha stated, as reported by The Print.

New law, dental colleges in Tripura soon

The chief minister said that a new law institute and a dental college will soon be set up in the state.

“The government also has plans to set up a medical college in Ambassa area of Dhalai district. The plot for the project has already been identified,” he underlined. 

"Government jobs cannot be the only solution to the problem of unemployment, the state will become an educational hub once the proposed institutes start functioning, and that would in turn make more youth eligible for employment opportunities within the state and elsewhere," he added.

In Agartala Govt Medical College (AGMC), nearly nine to ten more departments will be introduced in the next few days to provide the best possible treatment to people, he said during a programme at Dhalai district’s Dumbur Lake.
