Agartala, Tripura, 20th of February, 2026 : The Tripura Rural Economic Growth and Service Delivery Project (TRESP), owned and managed by the Tribal Welfare Department, continues to create remarkable livelihood opportunities across tribal areas of Tripura. Through focused planning, capacity building, and financial support, the District Project Management Unit (DPMU), North District, has successfully empowered Producer Groups (PGs) to transform agriculture into a sustainable and profitable enterprise.
Under the dynamic guidance of DPMU, Ankur Vegetable PG of Pecharthal Block achieved outstanding success in brinjal cultivation over 2.24 hectares (14 kani) of land. With a total loan support of ₹2,10,000, the group produced 19,667 kg of brinjal and recorded sales of ₹9,56,690, generating a profit of ₹7,46,690 (harvest ongoing). Notably, one of the members, Smt. Amiya Bala Sahajee, earned a profit of ₹68,100 from an individual investment of ₹13,500, showcasing how structured financial linkage and technical handholding can enhance income at the grassroots level.
Similarly, Dipshika PG of Dasda Block demonstrated impressive performance in bitter gourd cultivation across 2.4 hectares (15 kani). With a loan support of ₹1,52,070, the group produced 10 metric tonnes and achieved total sales of ₹4,50,000, earning a net profit of ₹2,97,930. Individual members like Smt. Mahamaya Nath also benefited significantly, earning ₹29,160 in profit from her cultivation activities.

The initiative has not only increased agricultural productivity but also strengthened collective entrepreneurship among tribal farmers, ensuring enhanced household income, financial inclusion, and sustainable livelihood security.
The consistent efforts of the DPMU team in mobilizing Producer Groups, facilitating working capital, and promoting scientific cultivation practices have turned small and marginal tribal farmers into confident rural entrepreneurs. The success stories stand as a testimony to how strategic intervention under TRESP is bringing meaningful socio-economic transformation in tribal areas of Tripura.
