Govt striving to make Tripura a model state: Tripura CM Manik Saha in I-Day speech

The CM also mentioned that the government was committed to promoting ‘Ease of Doing Business’ under the Swagat portal.

Saha listed the achievements of the government, such as signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and fostering skill development under Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Udyog, among others.

Claiming that the government was sparing no effort to make Tripura prosperous, Saha said, “We are dealing with challenges. We have crossed several hurdles and properly used the opportunities. We are standing on the threshold of a new age. Our government is working incessantly to achieve economic growth, social welfare, human resource development, and a conducive environment for overall growth and development.”

He added that inclusion, stability, and good governance were the cornerstones of the activities of his government and said, “Our government has been taking transformational steps to take the state ahead towards a bright future.”

Industries and Commerce Minister Santana Chakma said in Pecharthal, “Today is a historic day. Today is our day of pride. We organised a bike rally and other programs in Pecharthal on the occasion of Independence Day… If we can all work to make a drug-free state, drug-free Pecharthal, then there will be no barrier to development.”
