AGARTALA, Aug 10 (TIWN): Biplab Deb led Govt in Tripura has focused on Agro-economy and Tourism based economy to develop the state.

Tourism may create massive job opportunities whereas Agriculture is to stable the rural economy.

Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb on Friday while addressing in a seminar on "Business and Industrial Development" at Rabindra Bhavan talked about house to house incomes, praising the interested businessmen for daring to take loans for business and helping the Govt to increase credit ration but Govt employees can never help the Govt with that ratio.

CM said that the credit ratio was increased after BJP Govt came in power and it proves state’s income is increasing.

“Business can increase credit ration, but Govt job can not do that. The source of credit ratio is business. Earlier it was 48% but now it is 66%. Increase of credit ration signals that a state is developing in business. A 16 month’s Govt has increased 18% ratio”, Biplab Deb said.

 Renovation works and remodeling of tourist spots have started in Tripura. At the same time, Govt of Tripura led by Chief Minister Biplab Deb has decided to go for massive plantation beside roads which go towards tourist spots.

It can be mentioned here, Govt of Tripura has focused on tourism industry aiming not only for state’s earning but also to increase employment. The Govt has announced special loan relaxation for them who have interest in tourism related businesses.

According to the offer, it has been said, if anyone takes loan of 5 lakhs, Govt will recover 8% of loan out of it.

These 8 types of infrastructure are : 1) Hotel for tourists, 2) Toilet, Restaurant, Dhaba 3) Speed-boat, house-boat, hunter buying, 4) Sports-spots’ establishment either in land or water, 5) Eco-tourism creation, 6) Yoga or Ayurvedic centre opening near tourist spots, 7) Transport mechanism in connection with tourism, 8) Propaganda-dept to promote tourism.

However, due to lack of maintenance of tourist spots and roadway problems, tourism has downed in Tripura whereas how far development comes now, it’s to be seen.
