Agartala (Tripura), June 15, 2026 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha says, “Our PM always says that our population in the entire country consists of fifty per cent women, so how will it work if we do not empower women. So earlier in Tripura, there was a capping of ₹1 lakh 25 thousand per year for the guardian, then their girl child was not given this bicycle. However, when our government came to power in 2018, we removed that capping; the main target of this is that all the children should get this facility… With this, our girl students will always be motivated… We will never compromise in the matter of education, and especially we will definitely take children forward, and we are doing a lot of things, starting from tinkering labs and smart classes… Even in our municipality and corporation, you will see that more than fifty per cent of public representatives are women…”
