Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has announced a significant reduction in the state’s unemployment rate, which now stands at 1.7%, well below the national average of 3.2%. The announcement was made during an appointment letter distribution ceremony for 228 Under Graduate Teacher (UGT) and Graduate Teacher (GT) posts under the Education Department at the Nazrul Kalakshetra Auditorium in Agartala.
The Chief Minister attributed this achievement to the transparent recruitment policies implemented by the BJP-led government since coming to power in 2018. He highlighted that the unemployment rate has dropped from 10% in 2018-19 to the current level, reflecting the state’s commitment to creating job opportunities.
Key Achievements
- 17,554 government jobs have been provided since 2018, including 3,554 jobs in 2025 alone.
- Over 2,900 individuals have been employed in security and other services through private agencies.
