Agartala, Nov 10 : Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Tuesday called for stronger coordination between the state government and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), saying joint efforts were essential to fulfil the developmental aspirations of tribal communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing the oath-taking ceremony of newly appointed Executive Members (EMs) of the TTAADC at Nuai Auditorium in Khumulwng, Saha said neither institution could independently address the challenges facing tribal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The TTAADC and the state government are complementary institutions. Neither can function effectively in isolation. Development cannot be achieved if both work separately,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ceremony was attended by Lok Sabha MP Kriti Singh Debbarma, TIPRA Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarma, Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma, TTAADC Chief Executive Member Runiel Debbarma, veteran tribal leaders Bijoy Kumar Hrangkhawl and Jagdish Debbarma, legislators and senior officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulating the newly inducted members, the chief minister urged them to ensure transparency, accountability and administrative efficiency, while keeping public welfare at the centre of governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Referring to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, Saha said it safeguards the rights of indigenous communities over land, language, culture, customs and socio-economic interests while providing a framework for self-governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said differences between the state government and the autonomous council should be addressed through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding rather than confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chief minister also referred to Pradyot Kishore Debbarma’s decision to step away from active electoral politics and appreciated his assurance that he would continue to stand by the Tiprasa community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On infrastructure development, Saha said household tap water coverage had improved considerably across the state, though remote and hilly areas continued to face challenges. The government was exploring alternative technologies to ensure safe drinking water for every household, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said a special committee had been constituted to examine schools in ADC areas with low student enrolment. The government was also considering converting some institutions into residential schools to improve access to quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saha further highlighted plans to strengthen residential education facilities for tribal students, drawing inspiration from the Eklavya Model Residential School system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On healthcare, he said improved medical infrastructure and government-backed health insurance schemes should benefit people living in remote tribal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assuring the newly appointed EMs of full government support, Saha said his doors would remain open for discussions on developmental issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He called for institutional cooperation, financial discipline and administrative accountability to ensure inclusive and sustained development in tribal areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
