Agartala, Aug 07: Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha's initiative helped a meritorious but needy student get financial support from Mayor Dipak Majumder.

Rohan Dutta, a brilliant student from Khilpara, Udaipur cleared the joint entrance exam this year and got an opportunity to study Mechanical Engineering at NIT Agartala. But due to the poor economic condition of the family, the future of this talented student became uncertain to some extent.

In view of this, when the Chief Minister initiated discussion to look after the matter from the government's side, the mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation came forward and assured the Chief Minister that he would extend help to the student.

Accordingly, the Chief Minister handed over a cheque of Rs. 50,000 provided by the Mayor to the student at the Secretariat on Monday.

The Chief Minister also encouraged the student to study well and make the state proud.

Besides, the Chief Minister appealed to all on social media to stand by the side of such talented students who are facing problems in their studies due to financial issues.
