Agartala: Agriculture and Farmer’s Welfare Minister Ratan Lal Nath today said that the main aim of the present government is to make the state self-reliant and provide employment in every household.
This was stated by Agriculture and Farmer’s Welfare Minister Ratan Lal Nath today after inaugurating a multi-storied office building for Agriculture and Horticulture departments under one roof at Udaipur and the Rajarbag Primary Rural Market.
The Minister said the government has spent Rs 9 crore for the multi-storied office building and Rs 2.27 crore for the Primary Rural Market.
He said that in order for our state to become self-reliant, the development of agricultural infrastructure is essential and keeping this goal in mind, the present state government has undertaken extensive initiatives to improve the infrastructure of various markets across the state.
“Our main aim is to become self-reliant India and self-reliant Tripura. We want employment in every house. It is not possible to give government jobs to everyone, but we can provide employment opportunities, which is also the vision of Prime Minister Modi,” said the Minister.
He said, “Our government is providing employment in every house. Before 2018, the previous government had spent Rs 20 crore, but in the last seven years, we have spent Rs 303 crore for agriculture market. Almost every market has been completed. We must not only focus on production but also on selling those products. Farmers have never been given the respect they are getting now under our government and Prime Minister Modi’s leadership. Farmers are like gods who provide food to us,” said the Agriculture Minister.
He further said that everyone must respect farmers.
“All public representatives must remember that life is like a notebook — the first and last pages are filled by God, representing birth and death, and the middle pages are blank, which we have to fill ourselves. Gomati district has been recognized as the best district. This district needs more development. The central and state governments are working jointly for the betterment of the state. We must maintain the cleanliness of the markets,” said the Minister.
During the event Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy, MLAs Rampada Jamatia, Jitendra Majumder, Abhishek Debroy, Sanjoy Manik Tripura, Pathan Lal Jamatia, Ranjit Das were present.
