Agartala, Tripura, 30th of June, 2025 : In a significant step to boost public employment, the state government recently distributed appointment letters to 222 candidates in the Health and Education Departments. Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha handed over letters to 30 newly appointed individuals at a formal ceremony held at Muktadhara Auditorium in Agartala. Speaking as the chief guest, the Chief Minister reiterated the State Government’s commitment to transparent recruitment. “Everyone knows how important a job is for a family. Our government has set an example in providing employment through transparency,” Dr. Saha said. He assured that more vacancies in government departments would be filled gradually in the coming days.
The Chief Minister informed that from 2018 to June 2025, a total of 19,484 people have been appointed to government jobs, including die-in-harness cases. In addition, 5,700 individuals have been employed through outsourcing and 2,987 others have secured jobs in various service categories, including security personnel. During the current financial year (2024-25), 305 individuals have been placed in private industrial establishments across the country through state-run job fairs.
Urging the new recruits to approach their responsibilities with confidence, Dr. Saha encouraged them to adopt a “Yes, I Can Do It” mindset. He called on them to actively contribute to the implementation of both central and state government schemes and serve the people with dedication.
Highlighting progress in employment, the Chief Minister noted that Tripura’s unemployment rate, which stood at 10% in 2018-19, has declined to 1.7% in 2023-24, well below the national average of 3.2%. He attributed this success to continuous development initiatives taken by the government since 2018.
Dr. Saha also emphasized the government’s focus on improving education and governance. He said e-office systems have been introduced from the village panchayat level to the cabinet, and that Tripura currently ranks second among Northeastern states in terms of per capita income. Investments are coming into the state for various fields. In the last 6 months, the foundation stone of various projects worth Rs 638 crore has been laid and inaugurated for the sake of development. To support students, coaching centres have been set up at sub-divisional levels to reduce dependence on private tuition. He further highlighted that Tripura has become the third fully literate state in the country, calling it a matter of pride for the people. Under the National Education Policy, the state government is ensuring that children receive quality education and develop job-ready skills.
The Chief Minister also noted improvements in law and order and the expansion of women’s police stations across the state for the safety of women. He appealed to all sections of society to join the state’s efforts in building a drug-free Tripura and preventing the spread of AIDS. The event was attended by several top officials, including Education Department Special Secretary Ravel Hemendra Kumar, who delivered the welcome address.
Amidst the present dignitaries there were Additional Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department Rajiv Dutta, Director of Secondary and Elementary Education N.C. Sharma, Director of Family Welfare and Preventive medicine Dr. Anjan Das, and Director of Health Department Dr. Tapan Das.
