In a major step towards strengthening Tripura's economic ecosystem through greater access to capital markets, the Tripura Government on Monday signed three landmark Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in the presence of Chief Minister Manik Saha.
The agreements were signed at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala, marking what the state government described as a significant milestone in advancing financial literacy, entrepreneurship, skill development and investment promotion in Tripura, according to a release. Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Manik Saha said the partnership would play a transformative role in enhancing financial awareness, developing industry-ready skills and creating a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem across the state. He said the initiative is aimed at empowering the youth by providing financial education and employability-oriented skills, supporting Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) by facilitating access to capital markets, strengthening the capacity of government officials through specialised training in finance and economic strategies, and fostering a vibrant investment climate in Tripura. The Chief Minister further stated that the collaboration places the State Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (SIPARD) among the first government training institutions in India to establish such a large-scale strategic partnership with the National Stock Exchange. He noted that the initiative sets a new national benchmark in institutional capacity building. Describing the agreement as a forward-looking initiative, Saha said the partnership would contribute significantly to building a stronger and more economically resilient Tripura by promoting financial inclusion, investment readiness and sustainable economic growth.
