14 October, Agartala: Tripura Chief Minister Professor Dr. Manik Saha said that the state government has provided jobs to a total of 23,986 people so far, including appointments under the die-in-harness scheme. Additionally, 26,000 people have been provided employment through outsourcing.
He was speaking at the appointment letter distribution ceremony for newly selected Graduate Teachers, organised by the Directorate of School Education at the auditorium of the International Fair Ground in Hapania, Agartala, today.
The Chief Minister said that the state government is providing jobs while maintaining transparency, merit and impartiality. He stated that teachers are the architects of students’ futures. If the foundation laid by teachers is strong, students’ progress will be solid.
He emphasised the importance of technology, science and skill-based education. Highlighting the growing influence of artificial intelligence, he urged teachers to help young people develop the necessary skills.
The Chief Minister said that teachers are the backbone of society and serve as guides in shaping the future. Along with teaching, they must come forward with a mindset that enables them to make positive contributions to society and help create a healthy and harmonious social environment.
He said that providing education in a healthy environment helps students develop mentally and emotionally. Therefore, every educational institution should assess students’ mental health and pay special attention to it. Merely obtaining a degree from an educational institution is not enough; students must also continue learning from society.
The Chief Minister stated that a new education policy has been adopted, keeping students’ futures in mind. He said that the Prime Minister has emphasised that educated youth are the country’s and the world’s greatest human resource. This resource must be guided in the right direction to build a developed India. Efforts must also be made to keep students connected with the country’s culture, traditions and heritage.
