AGARTALA, Aug 8: Tripura Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma met Union Tribal Affairs Minister Jual Oram and thanked the Ministry of Tribal Affairs for its support in operationalising six new Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRS) in the state.
The approval is expected to strengthen residential education facilities for tribal students, particularly in areas where access to quality schooling remains limited.
Debbarma said the Centre’s support would help ensure the smooth functioning of the six institutions and expand the EMRS network across Tripura’s tribal areas.
He described the approval as a significant step towards strengthening educational infrastructure and expanding access to quality education through the EMRS network in the state.
Debbarma also expressed appreciation for the ministry’s continued support for tribal education in Tripura.
He was accompanied by Tapash Ranjan Bhowmik, executive engineer of the Tripura Tribal Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TTWREIS), and Madan Gopal Modak, deputy executive officer of the Tripura Housing Board.
