“It was a time, when getting admission for B.Sc nursing was a big factor for Tripura student but now we have Medical college and today 49 nursing students are taking oath”, said CM.

“We have four Universities, Medical, nursing, Engineering colleges. So from all sides, Tripura is emerging as an Education hub”, added CM.

CM Manik Saha further appealed to the students to becoming good humans, not only good students.

“Nurses are the ambassadors of the Medical profession. They have huge responsivities. Human touch is also an inevitable part of any profession today and as we talk about Ek Tripura, Shrestha Tripura, without this mentality, we can not take the state to that level”, CM said at Agartala Govt nursing college.

CM called for a drug-free-Tripura requesting all students to keep eyes over the alarming issue.
