Agartala, March 30: Tripura’s Chief Minister Manik Saha announced that the state has once again secured the top position in participation for the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program, a monthly radio initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After listening to the 132nd episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ in the Barjala area of Agartala, the Chief Minister noted that this broadcast particularly emphasized innovations in providing drinking water to remote areas.
He mentioned that the Prime Minister specifically highlighted Wangmun village in the Jampui Hills of North Tripura, where residents now have improved access to drinking water.
CM Saha stated, “Previously, the people of Wangmun faced significant challenges in obtaining drinking water, but now this issue has been resolved through innovation, which is a matter of pride for Tripura.”
He added that the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ program serves as a platform to showcase positive initiatives across the country, discussing topics such as health awareness, agriculture, fisheries, and sports.
The Chief Minister also emphasized the importance of reducing oil consumption among youth and promoting regular exercise.
He referenced various welfare schemes by the central government, particularly initiatives like free electricity, which have benefitted rural and refugee communities, leading to improvements in education and agricultural productivity.
Highlighting the progress of the Jal Jeevan Mission, Saha noted that in 2018, only 3% of households in the state had access to tap water, which has now increased to approximately 86%.
He expressed confidence that despite challenges like limited availability of natural water sources, the state will soon achieve 100% coverage.
The Chief Minister affirmed, “Through innovation and continuous efforts, we are committed to fully realizing the Jal Jeevan Mission in the near future.”
