আমরা যদি পুঁথিগত বিদ্যায় ভালো রেজাল্ট করেই বসে থাকি, তাহলে চলবে না । মনে রাখতে হবে আমাদের আজকের এই সাফল্য সমাজের কারণেই হয়েছে। সমাজ স্কুল দিয়েছে, টিচার দিয়েছে এবং পড়াশোনার সুযোগ দিয়েছে বলেই এটা সম্ভব হয়েছে। তাই আমাদেরও এই সমাজকে কিছু ফিরিয়ে দিতে হবে। pic.twitter.com/dwZhjsAG4s

Dr. Saha said, “I am really happy today. The people of Tripura are very proud of these students. Those who have done well today are the future of Tripura. It has been seen that the students who have done well have also succeeded in real life. Not only in Tripura, but also in India and abroad, they have made their mark.
A total of 82 students will be felicitated here today. Out of these, 25 are from TBSE Madhyamik and 20 from Higher Secondary, and 22 from Secondary and 15 from Higher Secondary under CBSE Vidyajyoti. Last year, there were concerns about the results of Vidyajyoti. But this time, there have been very good results. This time, success has come by filling in the shortcomings or errors that were there. I wish those who have done well a bright future,” he said.
He said that students should not be limited to just achieving textbook knowledge.
“People expect a lot from us to work for society. So, we should not be just self-centered. Earlier, there were not many opportunities in the field of education in the state. But now there are many educational institutions in Tripura. Students also have a special role to play in building a drug-free Tripura. In this regard, they should also keep a vigilant eye everywhere,” said Dr. Saha.
