On February 15, 2025, Tripura Shantiniketan Medical College (TSMC) achieved a remarkable milestone by being awarded recognition from the Indian Book of Records for having the maximum state-wide enrollment in its inaugural academic session. This achievement highlights the college’s successful efforts in attracting a significant number of students to its MBBS program, marking a positive development in medical education in Tripura.
A formal ceremony was held at the college premises to celebrate this accomplishment, attended by notable dignitaries including Dr. Vishal Kumar, the District Magistrate of West Tripura, and Arif Mohammad, the Assistant High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Agartala. During the event, TSMC was presented with a prestigious memento and certificate to commemorate this achievement, which reflects the institution’s commitment to providing quality medical education and training.
The recognition by the Indian Book of Records not only underscores TSMC’s growing reputation but also emphasizes its role in enhancing healthcare education in the region. The college aims to foster competent healthcare professionals equipped with the skills necessary to address the medical needs of the community.
This award comes amidst ongoing discussions regarding the college’s operational framework and its collaboration with local healthcare facilities. The state government has permitted TSMC to utilize portions of the state referral hospital for educational purposes while ensuring that existing services remain unaffected. This arrangement aims to enhance practical training for students as they pursue their medical degrees.
Overall, this achievement positions Tripura Shantiniketan Medical College as a pivotal institution in shaping the future of healthcare professionals in Tripura and beyond.
