Tripura announces mega recruitment drive to fill up over 1,600 positions before Durga Puja
Two months ahead of the Durga Puja, the Tripura government on Tuesday announced a recruitment drive to fill up over 1,600 posts in different departments including those of education and health. Speaking to reporters at the state secretariat in Agartala, Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury said the Cabinet resolved to recruit 700 graduate and 915 postgraduate teachers. 'These decisions were adopted during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Manik Saha. We all know that there is a shortage of postgraduate teachers in schools and that's why the education department has decided to recruit postgraduate teachers for these schools. The Teachers' Recruitment Board of Tripura will conduct the recruitment,' he said. Saha later wrote on X, 'State cabinet approves recruitment of 700 Graduate Teachers (GT) to strengthen our education system and ensure quality education for all. We are committed to provide employment opportunities and march for the Shrestha Tripura.' The recruitment drive is expected to address a teacher shortage that the Opposition CPM has attributed to the retrenchment of 10,323 teachers positions over faulty recruitment done during the erstwhile Left Front rule. The cabinet also decided to fill up 37 posts including those of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, deputy registrar, assistant registrar, in National Law University. Six posts of dental medical officers will be filled up under the health department. 'The recruitment process to fill up 37 posts would be done by the National Law University as per their recruitment rules. The recruitment of the medical officers would be done through the Tripura Public Service Commission,' said Chowdhury.

Tripura CM slams left front for using Janajati community for vote bank politics
Agartala (Tripura) [India], July 15 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Monday that the development of the country is not possible without developing the Janajati community. In view of this, he wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to address some of the problems faced by the Bru people in the state. The Chief Minister made these remarks while addressing the District Level Mega Campaign on Dharti Aaba Jan Bhagidari Abhiyan at Gobinda Community Hall, Jirania Sub-Division. He criticised the previous left-front-led government of the state for using the Janajati community as a vote bank. 'They (CPM led govt) used the Janajati community for vote bank politics. Now, the BJP government always thinks about the people and the development of the Janajati community by making them self-reliant. The way PM Modi connects with people through Mann Ki Baat, I doubt if any leader in the world connects like that. We are public representatives, but we must not forget who we are here for; we must work for the people,' CM Saha said. He highlighted the efforts of the BJP government since 2018 to improve their condition. Highlighting the importance of helping the backwards classes, the Tripura CM noted that several community members have also held high offices, including President Murmu. 'If we can't develop the backwards class people, then the development of the country is not possible. PM Modi has been working for the Janajati people since 2014. Our President of India also belongs to the Janajati community, and one Janajati--who belongs to our royal family--is the Governor of Telangana. All such things have been possible because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,' he said. 'What PM Modi says, he does. We really feel proud to have such a Prime Minister. He has been working to make the country stronger and to ensure a safe future for the next generation,' Manik Saha added. CM Saha further said that in Tripura, the present state government is providing various beneficiary schemes to the people, ranging from drinking water, hostels for Janajati students, tribal multipurpose marketing centres, and giving land pattas. Under the Dharti Aaba Jan Bhagidari, 779 Gram Panchayats and Village Councils will benefit, with 20 departments involved in the initiative, the CM emphasised. During the event, Social Welfare and Social Education Minister Tinku Roy, Tribal Welfare Minister Bikas Debbarma, social worker Bipin Debbarma, West District Magistrate Dr Vishal Kumar, Dr K Sashikumar (Secretary, Tribal Welfare), West District ki SP Kiran Kumar, and others were present.

Saha seeks Shah intervention to resolve problems faced by Brus
Agartala: Tripura chief minister Manik Saha on Monday said he has written to Union home minister Amit Shah , seeking his intervention to resolve several problems being faced by members of the Bru community in the state. Addressing a gathering during the district-level mega campaign under the Dharti Aaba Jan Bhagidari Abhiyan at Jirania sub-division in West Tripura, Saha said, "I recently met with people from the Bru community and learned about the challenges they are still facing. Accordingly, I have written to the home minister to ensure their issues are addressed at the earliest."

Saha underlined the importance of inclusive development, saying, "Unless we uplift the backward communities, the country cannot progress. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been working tirelessly for the welfare of Janajati communities since 2014." He added that India today takes pride in its inclusive leadership, mentioning that the President of India hails from a Janajati background, and that the governor of Telangana is also from a Janajati community and belongs to Tripura's royal family. "These developments have been made possible due to Prime Minister Modi's commitment to empowering indigenous communities. What he promises, he delivers," Saha said.
