Title : Need to convert Tripura University into a Central University.
SHRI KHAGEN DAS (TRIPURA-WEST): Sir, the people of Tripura and the State Government have long been demanding for conversion of Tripura University into a Central University. The Tripura University was established in 1987. But, due to paucity of funds it has not been possible to develop necessary infrastructure and diversify their courses to provide quality education, academic excellence and innovative research and development programme. There are Central Universities in North-Eastern Region at Kohima, Silchar, Tezpur, Aizawl and Shillong, which are in a better position to provide infrastructure and the academic facilities mainly because of Central funding. Recently, Manipur University has been converted into a Central University. Considering the backwardness and remoteness of Tripura, it is urgently necessary to convert Tripura University into a Central University to minimize the imbalance in educational facilities available in the North-East.
I would, therefore, strongly demand that the Union Government should introduce a Bill in this Session with a view to convert the Tripura University into a Central University.
