Tripura Human Development Report |
|
|
|
The key message of this Report is that the people of Tripura have experienced significant progress
in social, economic and political indicators of human development. The situation in Tripura is
better than the Indian average with respect to achievements in terms of health and education,
and in respect of the implementation of an effective system of democratic decentralization.
While the state is rich in natural resources—including forests, fields and natural gas—historical
and geographical circumstances have resulted in an economic structure that is non-diversified
and lacking a manufacturing base. Weak infrastructure, in particular the limited road and rail
network connecting Tripura to the rest of India, is a major constraint for the overall development
of the state. Over the last two decades, the people of the state have also suffered from the
effects of insurgency and associated violence. The Report is the outcome of active collaboration
among Departments of the Government of Tripura, independent academics and researchers, and
staff and scholars of the Foundation for Agrarian Studies. |
