Indian youths are presently fortunate to have a far-sighted, committed, and enduring Prime Minister like Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Modi has always been working beyond the traditional norms for the welfare of the country and its citizens, said Biplab Kumar Deb in an interactive session with the students and professors of Tripura University at Maharaja Bir Bikram Shatabarshiki Auditorium Hall on Wednesday.
At the beginning of the session, the Chief Minister unveiled a book cover named ‘Basics of Basketball’ written by Prof. Prashanta Kumar Das.
During the interactive session, the Chief Minister said, a person must be knowledgeable about his own situation as well as of the state and the country. He called on the students to stay updated about every incident happening around because if the new generation is awake and aware only then the state as well as the nation will move ahead.
Deb said, change in the national education policy of the country has been brought after 36 years through which a student can attain education which will also help in the professional field as well as building his personality. The guardians in the present Indian society are all eager to get their sons and daughters a reputed jobs.
The Chief Minister said, this year’s budget has increased by Rs 11,000 crore as compared to the budget in 2018 which shows the direction of revenue growth of the state. He hoped that the state budget in the next 5 years will be Rs 50,000 crore.

The people of the state have got DEMU train, Humsafar, Kanchenjunga, Deogarh, Rajdhani, Jana Shatabdi Express without having to participate in any movement which shows the sincerity of the central government.
