AGARTALA, January 16, 2024:  The tea industry in Tripura is set to receive a significant boost as NITI Aayog has approved the establishment of the first-ever Tea Auction Centre in the state. This announcement was made during the first review meeting of the recently-inaugurated Tripura Institution for Transformation (TIFT) chaired by Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha Tuesday.

The Chief Minister instructed officials to set up the Tea Auction Centre in Durgabari Tea Estate in West Tripura District. During the meeting, Dr Saha reviewed various projects aimed at the overall development and public welfare of the state, emphasising the importance of completing them within the specified time while maintaining high quality. 

He also urged District Magistrates to take on more responsibility in implementing these programs, as it will enable better monitoring of activities. The meeting also addressed issues related to major projects in the state, including the National Highway, Agartala Airport road, infrastructure development of Mata Tripurasundari Temple, Maharaja Birchandra Manikya Modern Art and Cultural Museum at Old Raj Bhavan, Vidyajyoti School, Jal Jeevan Mission and PM Vishwakarma Scheme.

A delegation from NITI Aayog had recently visited the state as part of the Tripura Institution for Transformation initiative, and during their meeting with the state government, the green signal was given to open a tea auction center. The connected authorities are now taking necessary steps to establish the center in the Durgabari area.
