AGARTALA, October 11 (TIWN): Most of the schools in (Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council) TTAADC are running without the School teachers, said Chairman of congress ST cell Bimal Chakma at Congress Bhavan here today.

The number of school teachers in the ADC is not sufficient at all due to which the children’s of the (Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council) TTAADC are not getting proper education. The state government is also not doing anything to solve the issue. Instead of doing anything the state government is busy in playing dirty politics. At present from minister to CPIM party workers remain deep necked in corruption, Bimal said. We are going to Delhi to meet Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi regarding the problems faced by the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC), he added.  

Our main demands are direct funding by the Centre and uniform empowerment of the tribal councils. We also demand transfer of land rights and all departments to the tribal council, including the higher education department, said Bimal Chakma. 

"We want full land rights should be given to the tribal council, otherwise proper development works could not be carried out. We also want more power and direct funding by the Centre," he said. 

The Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) came into being in the state under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution in 1987 to protect and safeguard the tribals who form one-third of the state's population. The council, which is the home to 19 tribals, comprises 67 per cent of state territory.
