Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Monday said the state was moving towards development in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision, asserting that the government was committed to ensuring equitable growth across the state.

He was speaking after inaugurating the newly constructed office of the District Magistrate and Collector in Dharmanagar, North Tripura district. The Chief Minister also virtually inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 50 projects with a combined estimated cost of Rs 176 crore.

Dr Saha said the state government was working towards the goal of building a developed India by 2047 and that the projects were intended to extend the benefits of development to people across Tripura.

“The state government is working tirelessly to achieve the goal set by the Prime Minister of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047,” he said.

The Chief Minister said development initiatives were being implemented in different parts of the state, including North Tripura. He maintained that the government was focusing on action and delivery rather than promises.

He said the government’s approach was guided by the principles of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas”, adding that its priorities extended beyond infrastructure creation to improving the quality of life and ensuring that eligible people received benefits under welfare schemes.

Dr Saha also said foundation stones had been laid for projects worth more than Rs 1,000 crore and several projects inaugurated during the current year. He described the new district administrative office and the projects announced at the event as part of the state’s development efforts.

MLAs Jadav Lal Debnath, Jahar Chakraborty and Binay Bhushan Das, Dharmanagar Municipal Council chairperson Mitali Rani Das Sen, and senior officials from various departments attended the programme.

Those present included Information and Cultural Affairs Department Secretary Kiran Gitte, Power Department Secretary Abhishek Singh, School Education Department Secretary Milind Ramteke, North Tripura District Magistrate Chandrani Chandran and Superintendent of Police Avinash Roy.
