AGARTALA, Nov 24 (TIWN): Although Golden-era, with less population in comparison to other states of India, Tripura still remained backward especially in hilly areas without basic facilities of everyday life which mostly inhibited by poor tribals,. In places like Baramura hilly areas, tribal women are everyday found to carry water from miles of distances for their household works. There is also no proper drinking water system yet envisioned by ruling CPI-M Govt and its Chief Minister. However, during election, CPI-M begs huge number of votes from tribal people of the state but in return lifer never changes for these poor people.Tribals in Tripura's hilly areas are deprived of proper schooling for their children, where education system is for the name-sake. Teachers are provided there very less and classes remain most of the times “Empty” without teachers. Benches, buildings, proper sanitary system in schools are still dreams for those children.Health centre’s facilities are bare minimum or absent there. In most of the areas a whole hospital is often run by a single doctor, and in the absence of that doctor one or two nurses take care of the patients. Medical facilities are also very poor as ‘Nothing’ is available there even if hundreds of people are dying every year from Malaria and other diseases.Tribals are deprived of proper schooling for their children, where education system barely exists for name-sake.

Teachers are provided very less and classes remain most of the times “Empty” without teachers. Benches, buildings, proper sanitary system in schools are still dreams for those children.
Health centre’s qualities are also very poor there. In most of the areas a whole hospital is often run by a single doctor, and in the absence of that doctor one or two nurses take care of the patients. Medical facilities are also very poor there. ‘Nothing’ is available there indeed. 
The lives in hills is very tough, but it is also very common in Tripura. 
Manik Sarkar ruled state often described as possessing a govt. which is ‘for the poor people’, but if one walks few miles from the city life, the reality comes to disclose. Tripura is claimed for having the highest literacy rate in allover India, but such hilly areas depict another scenario. 
Smart city, smart village all these are just to say, as if just few words spoken before the elections, but after the result of the elections when CPI-M wins with huge number of votes, then these scenaries full of miseries are forgotten.  
Although tough, but, if Govt. wants it can provide the poor villagers a better life by spending “little” fund and with water supplying system, by developing school and hospital and establishing few police stations and most importantly by sending more govt. employees to do job there. 
But, no-one to represent the life of these poor villagers and as a result people over there being deprive of every facilities silently spending their lives and tolerating those ‘deprivations’. 
People in such areas, thus prefer daily labours and avoid education. Because, for poor people Education is a big term which is no way greater than their survival.
