This declaration was made by the chairman, Chandra Sekhar Ghosh, during the Prabashi Tripurabashi Summit 2025–26 in Agartala. The anticipated medical college will encompass allied healthcare facilities and aims to bolster Tripura’s medical education and healthcare infrastructure while generating employment opportunities for local youth.

Furthermore, Ghosh proposed a skill incubation centre in Tripura, estimating a budget of Rs 10 crore, contingent on the state government providing suitable space alongside free electricity and internet connectivity. This centre is envisioned to promote skill development and entrepreneurship among the local youth.
During the summit, Chief Minister Manik Saha called on the diaspora members to serve as ambassadors for Tripura, emphasizing that the state is entering a new phase of transformation characterized by reforms, transparency, and proactive governance. He highlighted the government’s commitment to enhancing the ease of doing business by simplifying industrial approvals, reducing bureaucratic obstacles, and ensuring prompt clearances through streamlined processes.
Saha pointed out that non-resident Tripuris play a crucial role in shaping the future of the state through their contributions of capital, technology, managerial acumen, and global exposure. He identified sectors such as healthcare, education, information technology, tourism, agro-based industries, and skill development as areas with vast investment opportunities. The summit attracted around 80 non-resident Tripuris from various regions of India, particularly Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, along with 10 to 12 NRIs from abroad, highlighting discussions focused on skill development and innovation, and the necessity of aligning educational and training efforts with industry needs.
