AGARTALA, Oct 17 (TIWN): Luxurious life is a dream for hilly people, they do not have basic facilities for living.

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 Arjuna hilly areas at North Tripura, tribal women are everyday found to carry water, woods from miles of distances for their household works.

In a  heath camp held at Arjuna Border area led by BSF Commandant Dr. N S Bhaiya on Sunday, it was exposed that people there are massively suffering from skin diseas. During the medical camp it was unearthed that many of them are suffering from various kinds of skin diseases in that area.

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. 

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.
