Tripura emerges as strong performer in Panchayat Progress Index 2.0
Agartala, May 2
Tripura has emerged as a strong performer in the Panchayat Progress Index 2.0, released on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day, with all 1,176 Gram Panchayats actively participating in the 2023-24 assessment cycle.
The report highlights the state's significant progress across key sectors, including poverty alleviation, healthcare, sanitation, and rural infrastructure, reflecting sustained efforts toward inclusive grassroots development.
According to reliable sources, Jugal Kishore Nagar Panchayat has been ranked among the best-performing Panchayats in the country. Additionally, several other Panchayats from the state secured top grades in critical sectors such as livelihood generation, public health, water resource management, governance, and infrastructure development.
At the national level, the index recorded over 3,600 Panchayats as 'Front Runners' and more than 1.18 lakh categorised as 'Performers'. With a participation rate exceeding 97 per cent, the PPI 2.0 underscores a notable improvement in rural governance and decentralised planning across India.
Tripura's strong showing in the index reflects its increasing focus on strengthening grassroots institutions and delivering development outcomes that are both inclusive and sustainable.

Good to see Tripura doing well, but let’s not get carried away. The Panchayat Progress Index is a good measure, but real change will only come when funds reach the last mile without corruption. Still, a step in the right direction.
As someone from Tripura, I can vouch for the improvements in our village. Better roads, more health camps, and the water supply has improved. Of course, there are still issues, but this recognition is well-deserved. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
Impressive that all 1,176 Gram Panchayats participated! That itself shows administrative commitment. Jugal Kishore Nagar Panchayat being among the best is a proud moment. Rural development is finally getting the attention it deserves.
I’m happy for Tripura, but I wish other states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar would also improve their Panchayat performance. The index shows over 1.18 lakh Panchayats still categorized as ‘Performers’ – that’s a lot of room for improvement. Still, good news is always welcome! 🌸
It’s nice to see a northeastern state getting recognition. Tripura has a lot of potential and this shows that with proper planning, even small states can achieve big things. Let’s hope this continues!
