Agartala, July 02: Tripura government will soon launch Vidya Pravesh Scheme, a three-month play-based school preparation module.

He also said, Rs 128 crore has been sanctioned for the scheme.

“Our government is planning to start this Vidya Pravesh Scheme, which is based on sports and games. The government has a plan for this. PM e-Vidya, related to digital/online/on-air education, has also been launched. The DISHA Scheme has been implemented as well. The main aim of DIET is to provide better training to teachers,” said Dr. Saha.

Dr. Saha, who also holds the education portfolio, said that the state government is working to modernize education infrastructure for students.

The Chief Minister was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of District Institution for Education and Training (DIET) at Jalbasa, Panisagar in the North District.

He said, the central government has been implementing various schemes to benefit the students and for the development of the education system.

“We previously had four District Institutes of Education & Training colleges, and now with this addition, we have five. A society's success depends on the education of its people. Education is one of our priority departments. Just yesterday, we held a meeting to identify some of our weaknesses, and I appealed to all the educationists who attended the meeting for advice on improving education. There is no alternative to education, and there is no end to knowledge,” said Dr. Saha.

He mentioned that Prime Minister Modi is implementing new schemes for the country's development and the education system.

“He has introduced the National Education Policy, which we have also started implementing in our education department so that students can keep up with the rest of the nation. In the 2023-24 Financial Year, the central government allocated Rs 1 lakh 12 thousand 899 crore. This allocation underscores how much PM Modi emphasizes education,” said Dr. Saha.

“I always stress the importance of infrastructure as well as manpower. Recently, we inaugurated a new school building in Gandacherra, opened a new school building in the South District, and inaugurated a girls' hostel in Sonamura,” he added.

During the program, Social Welfare and Social Education Minister Tinku Roy, MLA Binay Bhusan Das, MLA Jadab Lal Nath, North District Magistrate Debapriya Bardhan, and North District Superintendent of Police Bhanupada Chakraborty were also present, Higher Education Secretary Raval Hamendra Kumar were present.
