CM urges students to combine knowledge, technology, and spirituality

Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr Manik Saha on Thursday said that along with acquiring textbook knowledge, modern technology should also be used to gain practical education.

He stated that for a bright future, one should be educated in real education as well as choose the path of morality. Through education, one can establish oneself as a distinguished person in society.

Dr Saha said while inaugurating the Golden Jubilee Year Celebration Festival of the Tripura Board of Secondary Education (TBSE) at Nazrul Kalakshetra in Agartala today.

At the event, the Chief Minister said that students would benefit if they spent some time on spirituality to keep their minds calm.

He also mentioned that a new education policy has been launched on the advice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make the country's education system timely.

“Educated youth is one of the world's most valuable assets. A new education policy has been launched for the welfare of the educated youth of the country and to make them even stronger. Technology has been linked with education. The Prime Minister is striving to make our country a hub of education. The state government is also implementing various projects for timely education,” said Dr Saha.

The Chief Minister stated that the TBSE was established in 1976 and that this year marks the golden jubilee of the board. In running the current TBSE, good advice should be taken from the former officers and employees of the board.

Dr Saha further said that since the adoption of the National Education Policy, students appearing for TBSE exams have been performing well.

“The board should take initiatives to improve their results. Nipun Tripura, Mission Mukul, Vidya Setu Module, etc., have been launched to steer the state's education system in the right direction. Bicycles are being provided to girl students. The Super 30 project has been launched for pursuing higher education. Not only students, but teachers are also being given timely training. So far, 7,700 teachers have been trained. Smart classes have been introduced in every school to improve the quality of education. New hostels have been opened for the convenience of students in tribal areas. Forty-seven new hostels have been built under various projects, including PM Janman. The state government aims to establish one Eklavya school in each of the 58 blocks of the state,” he said.

The Chief Minister added that the state government is implementing new projects in the field of higher education as well. The system of new colleges, universities, and technical education has been further expanded in the state.

Today, 23 meritorious students were awarded at the event for their remarkable results in the secondary and higher secondary examinations from 2022 to 2025.

The Chief Minister handed over certificates and also unveiled a souvenir commemorating the golden jubilee year of the TBSE.

On the occasion, Secretary of the Education Department, Ravel Hemendra Kumar,  Maharaj Swami Bhaktisudhananda of Viveknagar Ramakrishna Math, the President of the TBSE, Dr. Dhananjay Ganachowdhury, and Secretary of the Board, Dr. Joydeep Bhattacharya were present.
