Agartala: In a pioneering move to strengthen the institution of marriage and reduce domestic discord, the Tripura Commission for Women, in collaboration with the National Commission for Women (NCW) and the West Tripura District Administration, inaugurated the “Tere Mere Sapne” campaign today. The launch event was held at the conference hall of the West Tripura DM & Collector’s Office.
The initiative marks the establishment of a Pre-Marital Communication Centre (PMCC), designed to provide professional counseling and emotional intelligence training to young couples before they embark on their marital journey.
A Vision for Happy Marriages
The program was graced by Smt. Jharna Debbarma, Chairperson of the Tripura Commission for Women, and Dr. Vishal Kumar, District Magistrate & Collector of West Tripura.
Addressing the media, Chairperson Jharna Debbarma explained the necessity of this intervention:
”We often see couples approaching the Commission with adjustment issues just a year or two into their marriage. The ‘Tere Mere Sapne’ project is a proactive step to prepare the younger generation. It’s about teaching communication, shared responsibilities, and conflict resolution before problems arise, ensuring a healthier social fabric.”
Key Objectives of the Center
The newly inaugurated center at the DM office will focus on:
- Conflict Resolution: Equipping couples with tools to handle disagreements maturely.
- Expectation Management: Openly discussing financial planning, family dynamics, and mental health.
- Legal Awareness: Providing information on rights and responsibilities within a marriage.
- Supportive Environment: Offering a safe space for young men and women to seek guidance from trained psychologists and counselors.
Administrative Support and Expansion
Dr. Vishal Kumar, DM West Tripura, highlighted that the district administration is fully committed to this cause. He noted that locating these centers near marriage registration offices—as done today at the DM Office—ensures that the service is easily accessible to those who need it most.
The Commission plans to expand these Pre-Marital Communication Centres to all eight districts of Tripura in a phased manner. The launch coincides with the run-up to International Women’s Day (March 8), during which the Commission has scheduled various Jan Sunwai (public hearing) programs across the state.
Dignitaries Present
- Smt. Jharna Debbarma, Chairperson, Tripura Commission for Women.
- Dr. Vishal Kumar, IAS, DM & Collector, West Tripura.
- Senior officials from the Social Welfare Department and District Administration.
