Tripura CM Manik Saha Announces Surge in Female Enrollment in Higher Education

Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha stated on Saturday that since the state declared free degree education for females two years ago, there has been an increase in the gross enrolment ratio of female students in higher education.

Saha said earlier in 2022 that all female students will receive free education at all state-run colleges.

"Girl students no longer pay fees in general degree colleges since 2022 and thus increased the Gross Enrolment Ratio of girls in higher education in the state", said CM Saha while speaking at the Platinum Jubilee programme at Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya in Kailashahar of Unakoti District.

He added that his government introduced 33 percent reservation in government jobs and 50 percent reservation for women in government stalls for women and others.

Prioritizing education and healthcare sectors, CM Saha stated that the state took several initiatives including launching of 'Lakshya' scheme for the students to prepare themselves for competitive examinations like UPSC, while Dhamma Dipa International University, Techno India University and Aryavart International University are under progress.

"The next generation would benefit due to the National Education Policy ( NEP). The NEP has been implemented already in all the state-run colleges", said CM.

"Our aim is to make Tripura an educational hub in the Northeast Region. Now, we have dental and nursing colleges. That was not easy. We faced several challenges but we succeeded", he said.
