Tripura Women’s Commission launches “Tere Mere Sapne” campaign with NCW to establish Pre-Marital Communication Centres in Tripura, providing counseling, AI-supported guidance, and relationship awareness to help couples build stronger marriages and reduce future marital conflicts.
The Tripura Women’s Commission (TWC), in collaboration with the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the West Tripura district administration, organized the “Tere Mere Sapne” campaign on Saturday at the office of the West Tripura District Magistrate & Collector’s Office. The initiative aims to guide couples before marriage through counseling and communication support under the Pre-Marital Communication Centre (PMCC) model.
The program was attended by Women’s Commission Chairperson Jharna Debbarma and West Tripura District Magistrate Dr. Vishal Kumar, along with senior administrative officials and social welfare representatives. The event highlighted the importance of awareness, communication, and emotional preparedness before entering married life.
Speaking to reporters, Jharna Debbarma emphasized that many marital disputes arise due to lack of communication and unrealistic expectations. “In most cases, couples approach the commission after one or two years of marriage with adjustment-related problems. Through this initiative, we want to help them understand responsibilities and expectations beforehand so that they can build a happy and stable life together,” she said.
The “Tere Mere Sapne” campaign was launched nationwide by the National Commission for Women during International Women’s Day in March 2025. The program seeks to establish Pre-Marital Communication Centres across India to promote healthy relationships and reduce the likelihood of marital conflicts.
Under the initiative, counseling sessions are organized to educate couples about communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and emotional intelligence. Experts also guide participants on financial planning, mutual respect, and shared responsibilities, which are considered essential elements for sustaining long-term relationships.
One of the unique features of the campaign is its integration of technology. The initiative is supported technically by the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), which has helped develop AI-driven modules to assist counselors in providing structured guidance. These modules help couples understand behavioral patterns, communication gaps, and compatibility factors in a more scientific and interactive manner.
Officials stated that the centers are often established near marriage registration offices so that couples can easily access counseling services before completing the legal process of marriage. Several states across the country have already launched similar centers under the campaign, making it a growing national initiative focused on family well-being.
In Tripura, the launch of the program marks an important step toward expanding awareness about healthy marital relationships. District officials believe the initiative will encourage couples to address potential issues early and build stronger emotional connections before marriage.
The Tripura Women’s Commission also stressed that preventive counseling can significantly reduce marital disputes and family breakdowns. By promoting dialogue, understanding, and emotional readiness, the program aims to create stable families and foster social harmony in society.
Authorities said that similar awareness programs and counseling sessions will be conducted in different districts of the state in the coming months to ensure that more couples benefit from the initiative.
