In a program marking Good Governance Day at Pragna Bhavan, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha commended state government officials for their vital role in ensuring a corruption-free administration, which he lauded as a model of good governance. Emphasizing that the primary objective of good governance is to eliminate corruption, Saha stressed the importance of maintaining public trust and focusing on the welfare of the state’s citizens.
He noted that approximately 60% of Tripura’s population is comprised of youth and highlighted the necessity of harnessing their potential for the state’s advancement. Saha mentioned his recent visit to Haryana aimed at showcasing Tripura’s development post-2018 and raising awareness at the national level.
Referring to the legacy of leaders like Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Chief Minister reiterated the commitment to providing government schemes that reach the most disadvantaged individuals. He pointed out that the state government has achieved full saturation in numerous schemes and introduced initiatives like “Proti Ghore Sushasan” to meet the aspirations of the people.
Saha also emphasized ongoing efforts to attract investors, especially in sectors like tourism, bamboo, and tea, as part of the state’s focus on economic development in the wake of the G-20 summit, where Tripura showcased its potential to international visitors. He concluded by stating that while government decisions must align with the principles of good governance, their successful implementation relies on the dedicated efforts of various departmental officers.
