Highlighting the state’s commitment to inclusive development, Dr. Saha informed that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will soon be signed between the Tripura government and Patanjali Yogpeeth.
The agreement is expected to pave the way for large-scale initiatives aimed at boosting the state’s socio-economic progress.
