Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha recently launched a comprehensive welfare drive to empower marginalized communities in the Tufania Lunga Tea Garden in Bamutiya, Tripura. The initiative is part of the ‘Chief Minister Tea Worker Welfare Scheme’ aimed at improving the living standards of tea garden workers and their families.
During the inauguration, CM Saha distributed land pattas to 82 tea worker families, granting them legal ownership of their residences. This step is expected to provide long-term security and stability to the workers, ensuring their rights are protected.
In addition to this, several awareness campaigns were launched, including a rally focused on promoting drug-free living in the community. The government’s commitment to combating substance abuse in the region was highlighted through these initiatives.
Health and legal aid camps were set up to provide essential services to the tea garden workers, ensuring they have access to healthcare and legal support when needed. A blood donation camp was also organized to emphasize the importance of voluntary blood donation as a social responsibility. CM Saha interacted with donors, encouraging community participation in such life-saving initiatives.
To promote sustainable livelihoods, agricultural tools were distributed to the workers to support their farming activities and improve their economic conditions. These initiatives reflect the government’s dedication to uplifting the tea garden community and ensuring their holistic development.
Beneficiaries of the welfare drive expressed their gratitude towards CM Saha for the support they received. Piyari Tati, a beneficiary, said, “I am very happy to have received a house. I express my heartfelt gratitude to Chief Minister Saha. I am overjoyed that the Chief Minister visited my home. I feel extremely happy and deeply touched.”
