Agartala, September 5: The Adi Karmyogi Abhiyan 2025 program, a flagship initiative of the Central Government, was formally launched today in West Tripura district. The scheme aims at the holistic development of tribal communities across 47 village committees covering 3 sub-divisions, 8 blocks, and 35 revenue villages in the district.
Announcing the launch, West Tripura District Magistrate Dr. Vishal Kumar said the program seeks to bridge service gaps in health, education, social welfare, rural development, drinking water, PWD, animal husbandry, and other key sectors in tribal-dominated areas. By 2047, the goal is to transform Tripura into a developed state, with 2030 identified as the immediate vision year to achieve substantial progress.
Dr. Kumar informed that the World Bank has sanctioned ₹1,400 crore for the program, and additional funding will be sought from the Central Government if required. He further said that as part of the initiative, a series of training and orientation workshops will be conducted between September and October.
The schedule includes:
- Sept 17 – Oct 2: “Seva Parv” workshops with various government departments.
- Sept 20: Orientation for district master trainers at the DM’s conference hall.
- Sept 23–25: Training for district and block master trainers.
