During this session, the District Master Trainers (DMTs) were trained to take forward the mission across Tripura. Soon, these DMTs will represent and guide the Block Master Trainers (BMTs), who in turn will work with Village Committees (VCs). The aim is to create better action plans for tribal development at the grassroots level.

The Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan seeks to ensure responsive governance, where decisions are not just top-down but involve active participation of villagers, Panchayats, and local institutions. By connecting DMTs, BMTs, and VCs, the programme intends to bring equal opportunities in education, livelihood, health, infrastructure, and social welfare to all tribal areas of Tripura.

Officials expressed confidence that this structured approach will make development more transparent, inclusive, and effective, giving villagers a stronger voice in shaping their future.

Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan: A New Vision for Tribal Villages

For many years, the tribal villages of Tripura remained trapped in politics, religion, and divisions of majority and minority. Development was often decided by power, not by the needs of the people. As a result, villages stayed poor, youth lacked opportunities, and the true voice of the community remained unheard. 

Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan 

Today, a new hope has emerged through the Ministry of Tribal Affairs and the Tribal Welfare Department of Tripura. The launch of the Aadi Karmayogi Abhiyan (AKA) Next Level Action Plan has opened the door to equal and inclusive development.

For the first time, detailed maps of every village will be drawn to ensure equal size, area, and shape for all Panchayats. This step aims to bring balance in resources and opportunities. Every community will now have a fair share in essential services such as old-age pension, education, healthcare, livelihood support, roads, water, electricity, and other infrastructure.

It is a sad truth that for decades, tribal villages suffered neglect. Yet, this is also a happy beginning, as villagers themselves will now become partners in decision-making and planning. If carried out with sincerity, this mission can transform poor tribal villages into self-reliant, strong, and united community.

When Utensils Bring Happiness – A Painful Reality of Tirthamuk Villagers

On Friday, 5th September 2025, at Tirthamuk, essential items like utensils, thread, and Sintex were distributed under the TTAADC EM Development Fund. The program was graced by Hon’ble MLA Sanjoy Manik Tripura, Hon’ble EM Rajesh Tripura, New Gomati Chairman Kapil Jamatia, and Vice Chairman Malin Debbarma.

Tirthamuk

The poor villagers received these basic necessities with tears of both relief and sorrow. Their happiness showed how little they own, and how even the smallest support makes a huge difference in their lives. For many, it was not just about receiving utensils or household items—it was about being seen, being valued, and being remembered by their leaders.

EM Development Fund

The moment carried both joy and pain: joy for what they received, but sadness for the reality that such simple things still remain out of reach for many in the 21st century.
