The Tripura Government on Thursday announced the setting up of a Drone Centre at the Tripura Institute of Technology (TIT) to train students in Drone Technology.

The announcement was made in the proposed Budget for 2022-23 tabled by Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Jishnu Devvarma.

He presented a Rs 26,892.67-crore tax-free Budget that has seen an increase of over Rs 4,000 crore over last fiscal's Budget estimates.

Tripura is the second state after Arunachal Pradesh trying to cash in on the opportunities being provided by the fast-emerging Drone sector.

Jishnu Devvarma, presenting the last full Budget of the BJP-led state Government before the Assembly Polls early next year, said: "I have allocated Rs 5 crore for setting up of a Drone Club/Centre in Tripura Institute of Technology Narsingarh to give college students an opportunity to learn, research and train on Drone Technology, which is emerging at a fast pace."

Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles have immense utility in the northeast because of its difficult hilly and mountainous terrains and road connectivity issues.

Drones were used in the recent past to deliver medicines in Manipur, Nagaland and Meghalaya.

A senior Tripura education department official said the drone centre to be set up at TIT at Narsingarh, about 12km from capital city Agartala, will "hopefully" start functioning by next fiscal.

"Planning for the centre is at a very preliminary stage. We will be inviting experts to help us set up the centre, which will teach students about Drone Technology and the use of Drones for the benefit of the society at large, especially in the Agriculture sector and during natural disasters. This sector has huge job opportunities. It has opened up new career avenues,” the official said.

Experts believe that Drone operators, Drone Engineers and Drone Analysts will be in high demand in the near future in sectors such as Agriculture, Health, Real Estate, Environment, Revenue, Entertainment, Transport, Wildlife, Tourism and even for Law Enforcement.

The Tripura administration imposed restrictions under Section 144 CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code) in some parts of Agartala on Saturday night following a clash occurred between ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress activists during a joining programme of the latter at chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb's Assembly constituency, Banamalipur.

A local party office of the BJP was moderately damaged in the clash. Former BJP Minister and legislator Sudip Roy Barman, who recently joined the Congress, has sustained minor injuries during the clashes. No report of injury was made available from any party.

A senior police official said, "We have started our investigation to find out how the clashes began and the persons responsible for this. We have not received any complaints so far. Security personnel have been deployed throughout the night to avoid any untoward incident. If anyone is found involved in the incident, action will be taken against them."

Later, the state administration imposed restrictions at some places of Agartala that prohibited assembly of five or more people in these areas.

The restrictions were imposed from 10:30 PM till 5 AM.

"...it is apprehended that there is every possibility of further law and order issues at night and the additional superintendent of police (Urban), West Tripura, Camp at SDPO Office (Sadar) has requested to promulgate prohibitory orders to maintain law and order... I am satisfied that there is urgent need of issue of Prohibitory Order to maintain public tranquility otherwise there may be deterioration of Law & Order", the order reads.

BJP spokesperson Nabendu Bhattacharya said, "Our mandal office came under attack. Many of our activists were taken to hospital. We are not very clear how many of our activists were injured. The incident happened due to internal feud within Congress and they blamed us for the attack. Their allegation is baseless."

Sudip Roy Barman later accused the Police of inaction.

Both the political parties organised protest rallies in the late evening following the clashes and demanded action against the incident.

The Tripura Government would soon launch 'Tripura Pineapple and Jackfruit Mission' (TPJM) to promote the production and value addition of the two horticulture crops that grow abundantly in the state, an official said in Agartala.

Initially, the TPJM will be for five years starting from 1 April, 2022, with a budgetary outlay of Rs 153 crore.

Of the total budgetary allocation, the state Government will pump Rs 10 crore while the remaining fund will be arranged from various channels - North Eastern Council (NEC), DoNER, Tripura Rural Livelihood Mission (TRLM), Central Special Assistance and World Bank.

This is for the first time, the state Government has chalked out a holistic approach for promoting Pineapple and Jackfruit after Tripura Bamboo Mission (TBM).

The Industries and Commerce Department has been made the Nodal Department to implement the TPJM but there will be a project monitoring committee headed by the Chief Secretary.

The state Government wants to increase the production of both Pineapple and Jackfruit in a big way. The state has already started exporting Pineapple and Jackfruit to European countries like UK and Germany apart from neighbouring Bangladesh.

As of now, 8,800 acres of land are covered with Pineapple cultivation and 8,929 hectares are used for Jackfruit cultivation.

The Government wants to increase the production of both the crops and value addition to the crops. Side by side, we have to build cold storage and marketing linkage to ensure better return , said Industries and Commerce Secretary PK Goyal on Wednesday.

Right now, we don't know the export demand of the two horticulture crops. Once the mission is launched, there will be deliberations on the issue and accordingly the target will be fixed. We want value addition from collection to packaging and marketing linkage , he said.

Goyal further said the state Cabinet in its last meeting held Tuesday has cleared the proposal for TPJM that will be officially launched on 1 April. If the mission appears successful, its tenure could be extended for the greater interest of the state , he added. | Bengal Newz Business Via. The Bengal Newz
