Tripura's women empowerment policy a game changer: Biplab
Agartala: Loksabha MP from West Tripura and former CM Biplab Kr Deb praised the state's women empowerment policy on Saturday, highlighting its significant impact on social development, which has resulted in a substantial increase in women entrepreneurs across the state, reports Biswendu Bhattacharjee . "During my tenure as chief minister of Tripura, Union home minister Amit Shah on International Women's Day in 2022 launched the policy and Rs 400 crore was allocated for its implementation," Deb said. He added that in three years, it made a visible change in the overall women's development index. The policy emphasised women's economic and social independence as a crucial element in ensuring their dignity. Additionally, it secured 33% reservation for women in government positions and recruitment through outsourced agencies in the state. The administration implemented various programmes to assist women in higher education, including educational loans at 3% interest rates from financial institutions. The introduction of 10% women's reservation in police recruitment established a significant milestone in Tripura.
