NGOs play key role in shaping future generation; social work possible without politics: Tripura CM

CM Manik Saha says NGOs must shape youth into responsible citizens, highlights social work without politics, and cites PM Modi's Viksit Bharat vision.

"Social work can be done in many ways without engaging in politics. - CM Manik Saha"

Agartala, February 7

Chief Minister Manik Saha on Friday said that NGOs should play a special role in shaping the next generation into responsible human beings and that children should be motivated to work for society.

According to a release from Tripura CMO, he emphasised that social work can be carried out in many ways without engaging in politics.

Tripura CM said this at an important meeting with representatives of Janajati NGOs held in Agartala on Friday.

Presiding over the meeting, CM Saha said, "I feel very happy to be able to participate here. The way members of voluntary organizations are working for the people is truly commendable. You are working for the future generation. The government will help you within its means and in accordance with rules and regulations. I will discuss the demands you have raised with the Tribal Welfare Minister and concerned officials."

He further stated that those attending the meeting must ensure that there is no deficiency in the upbringing of young children residing in various hostels.

"In this regard, the government will always stand by your side. You have a significant role in shaping children, the next generation, into real human beings. You have provided them with a platform. At this stage, children should be taught proper education, human values, and social responsibility. Social thinking must be instilled in them," CM Saha said.

During the discussion, the Chief Minister highlighted that working for society is extremely important.

"Therefore, children should be raised and educated with that mindset. The current President of our country, Draupadi Murmu, also belongs to the tribal community, and today she is serving the nation responsibly. Social work can be done in many ways without engaging in politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken about building a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. Today's students will play a crucial role in achieving that vision and will also benefit from it. Hence, they carry a special responsibility towards society," he added.

Chief Minister Saha also described education as a bridge.

"Education acts as a bridge from darkness to light. It bridges the gap between ignorance and knowledge, and between falsehood and truth. Therefore, along with education, it is equally important to impart moral values to students and children," he said.

Representatives of NGOs from different parts of the state participated in the meeting, a release stated.

While the sentiment is good, it's a bit idealistic. In practice, how can NGOs working on welfare issues like tribal rights completely avoid politics? Policy and social work are deeply intertwined. The government's support must be unconditional, not just "within rules."

Highlighting President Draupadi Murmu ji is inspiring for the tribal youth. NGOs have a big responsibility in the Northeast. Hope the discussion with the Tribal Welfare Minister leads to concrete action and better hostel facilities. Jai Hind!

"Education as a bridge from darkness to light" – beautiful thought. This is what we need more of. Focusing on human values and social responsibility in hostels can shape truly responsible citizens. Kudos to all the NGO workers on the ground.

Interesting perspective from Tripura. The challenge globally is ensuring NGOs can operate without political interference, whether from the state or other groups. The focus on the next generation is universal. Hope the collaboration is effective.

The vision for 2047 needs more than words. It needs proper funding, training for NGO staff, and a transparent mechanism for support. Many small NGOs in tribal areas struggle with basic resources. Government help should be swift and substantial.
