The diverse range of projects includes a generous allocation of Rs 202 crore for the establishment of a state-of-the-art dental college in Agartala, Rs 192 crore for the creation of a 200-bed mother-and-child health wing within the premises of Agartala Government Medical College and GB Pant Hospital, Rs 121 crore for a rehabilitation centre catering to drug addicts at Bishramganj in the Sepahijala district, Rs 80 crore for the installation of a solar microgrid in remote tribal areas, and Rs 122 crore for the development of three rural roads spanning 30 kilometres each.
The injection of funds by the central government is anticipated to play a crucial role in propelling the state’s development agenda forward. Notably, the establishment of the Dental College and the addition of new beds in Agartala Government Medical College and GB Hospital are poised to be transformative breakthroughs in the realm of medical services.
