No development in education before 2018: CM

Agartala, 17th November 2026: Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha today asserted that significant strides in educational development have been made only after 2018. Addressing a gathering, he highlighted that previous administrations had neglected the sector, resulting in stagnation. His remarks underscore the current government's commitment to overhauling the educational landscape, which he claims had been bereft of progress prior to their tenure. Dr. Saha elaborated on the initiatives undertaken since 2018, focusing on infrastructure upgrades, teacher training, and curriculum modernization. These efforts, he noted, are aimed at equipping students with skills relevant to the contemporary job market. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of education in driving socio-economic growth and reiterated his administration's resolve to ensure that educational reforms remain a top priority. The Chief Minister's statements come amid ongoing debates about the state's educational priorities and resource allocation. While some opposition figures have questioned the pace and scope of the reforms, Dr. Saha remains optimistic about the future trajectory. By channeling resources into education, the government hopes to foster a generation of well-prepared individuals capable of contributing to the state's development.
