AGARTALA, Dec 16 (TIWN): Tripura Education Minister Ratanlal Nath while addressing in Sukanta Academy for ‘Indira Bhattacharjee Memorial Merit award’ said that already whole country is considering Tripura’s new Education model and how NCERT was implemented in Tripura as a national model.

NCERT has requested Indian Govt to make Tripura’s model as national model and also Govt of India has accepted that.

Ratanlal Nath said, “I don’t want to follow other states but I want that other states should be following Tripura model. That is the reason we have started NCERT syllabus and within one year that we introduced NCERT syllabus from Class-1 to Class-12. No state thought that in one year NCERT syllabus can be started across India”.

“India has 85 lakhs of teachers and in our states around 41,000 teachers are there. We had hired experts to train a part of our teachers and then those trained-teachers trained around 30,000 teachers further here. Then Central Govt has published a Book where they have mentioned about Tripura’s successful drive, asked the whole country to follow the same”, said Nath claiming that Central Govt accepted the NCERT model implementation in Tripura as national model.
