Tripura CM Dr Manik Saha said, an allocation of about Rs. 264 crore has been made for this. This year, about 345 schools have achieved 100% results in secondary education.
Agartala (Tripura), June 17: Tripura Chief Minister, also the Education Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Tuesday emphasized the state government’s unwavering focus on delivering quality education, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a digitally empowered education system.
Speaking at a felicitation ceremony for meritorious Madhyamik and Higher Secondary students at Town Hall, Dr. Saha noted that the Education Department is prioritizing infrastructural development in schools to enhance the learning environment. He mentioned that special focus is being given to the digital mode of learning as per the directives of the Prime Minister.
“Under the leadership of PM Modi, initiatives like Pariksha Pe Charcha have been introduced to help students approach examinations as a challenge rather than a source of stress. Parents and guardians, too, play a crucial role in supporting their children’s academic success,” said Dr. Saha.
Congratulating the successful students, the Chief Minister expressed hope that they would perform even better in the future. He urged students to engage in healthy academic competition and pursue studies in a positive atmosphere.
Highlighting that academic marks don’t solely determine future success, Dr. Saha stated, “Many individuals achieve great success in life despite scoring lower in exams. Patience and perseverance are the true foundations of success.”
He also echoed Prime Minister Modi’s call for encouraging meritorious students from non-political backgrounds to participate in politics, stating that their inclusion would bring about a much-needed transformation in political culture.
Dr. Saha affirmed the government’s commitment to nurturing talent in Tripura, emphasizing that the state’s students are full of potential and only require proper opportunities. “We are dedicated to creating a strong platform for them through better education and infrastructure,” he added.
