In a recent development, the state of Tripura has been declared fully literate. The state’s current literacy rate is 95.6 per cent. The Union Minister of Education, Preeti Menon, stated that Tripura has become the third in India to attain full literacy. To overcome this challenge, schemes such as Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society (ULLAS) were launched by the central government. The ULLAS scheme aims to ensure financial awareness, digital transactions, and various other practical skills.
According to the UNESCO mandate, a state that achieves a literacy rate of 95 per cent shall be considered fully literate. In the financial year 2024-25, Tripura’s literacy rate improved by 2 percentage points, rising to 93.7 per cent from 91.7 per cent in 2023-24. On top of that, the Chief Minister, Manik Saha, claimed that Tripura’s per capita income and GDP are the second-highest in the northeastern states.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced changes to its examination policy for the Class 10 board exams. Under this policy, CBSE shall conduct class 10th board exams twice a year from 2026. The goal is to provide students with more flexibility and remove the pressure of a single board exam. This policy aligns with the NEP 2020 to make education more student-centric.
According to the policy, the first phase of the exams is mandatory, making the second phase optional. While the first phase shall work as a baseline assessment, the second phase focuses on overall performance improvement. As per the reports, the first phase results shall be declared in April, followed by the second phase results in June. Moreover, the CBSE has planned to conduct internal assessments only once during the year. This policy shift is a step towards creating a less stressful environment for students.

The other four would be dental colleges and ayurvedic medical institutions across the state.
With this step, the state government plans to improve healthcare infrastructure and medical education. To strengthen healthcare in the state, 4,000 doctors and paramedical staff have been recruited in the last year. By the end of 2025, the government aims to fill 1.5 lakh vacant medical government posts.
