AGARTALA, June 14 (TIWN): Keeping aside the issue of solving the rising problem of unemployment in the state, ruling government is busy in opening schools and colleges in the state for the so called development of the education system in the state. Talking to TIWN correspondent Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty said that the work progress in going well and if everything falls in the right place the university will begin its journey in the scheduled time. MBB State University will begin its journey soon as the process of appointment of VC is completed, added Chakraborty. Keeping a few lakhs of youth unemployed in the state, Tripura government is all set to begin with the new state university from August to provide quality education to the people and nil employment in returns. It is to be mentioned here that opening of state university is nothing but a source for production of bunch of CPI-M cadres. As there is employment in the state it is definite that the students after passing out from the university will get engaged with the party’s SFI, DYFI or section and will do promotion of the political party in exchange of few money.

State university will one day turn into a house of CPI-M cadres as students will be seen with flags rather than books.

Initially, the Varsity would start with five city based Colleges including MBB College. A proposal seeking bifurcation of five city based degree colleges has already been sent to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD). The state varsity is scheduled to start its maiden journey from upcoming academic session. Currently, two Varsities- ICFAI and Tripura University are functioning in the state.

The left front government in Tripura has decided to set up a ‘state university’ to improve the scope of higher education. The government plans to launch the university at Maharaja Bir Bikram College, which has a large campus, to encourage teaching environment in the capital city.

To widen the higher education scope the state came up with this proposal of establishing this new state University other than already running Tripura Central University.

A State University is to be established at the Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) College in State Tripura, aimed at broadening the higher education prospects as informed by official sources.

It is expected that from year 2016 the new state university’s academic session would commence. MBB is one the oldest college of state Tripura and due to the extensive campus it is chosen as a site to setup the University at MBB College.

The government has chosen to start the State University in the Maharaja Bir Bikram College campus, renaming the college as Maharaja Bir Bikram University as a sign of respect to the history and tradition of the institute.
