Agartala, March 4

Vice President C P Radhakrishnan is scheduled to visit Agartala, the capital of Tripura, from March 7 to 8. During his visit, he will attend the convocation ceremony of Tripura University, a premier central university, and is also slated to chair several other official programs.

According to Vishal Kumar, the District Magistrate and Collector of West Tripura, Vice President Radhakrishnan will also visit the Matabari (Tripura Sundari) Temple.

Additionally, the Vice President is scheduled to attend the convocation ceremonies at Tripura University and will also visit the Hapania Fairgrounds to interact with the "Lakhpati Didis."

"On 7th and 8th March, the Honourable President C P Radhakrishnan will visit Tripura. This is a time of great pride and joy for all the people of Tripura. He will visit the Matabari Mahata. He will also attend the Dikshan Ceremonies of the Central University of Tripura. He will also interact with the Lakhpati Didis at the Hapania Fairgrounds. All the arrangements have been made by the state government and the central agencies, including the University of Tripura," Kumar told ANI.

Earlier, the Vice President of India, on February 22, laid the foundation stone for a 140-foot statue of freedom fighter and 'Kappalottiya Tamizhan' VO Chidambaram Pillai, in Madurai.

The statue, initially planned for 140 feet, was later increased in height.

Addressing the event, Vice President Radhakrishnan said, "VO Chidambaram Pillai was a man who lived a life of pure sacrifice without expecting anything in return, and who passed away dedicating his entire life to selfless service. If today we say that we are living with such freedom and rights, it was VO Chidambaram Pillai who sowed the very first seed of that freedom in this soil...Today, we have laid the foundation stone for the statue of VO Chidambaram Pillai."

The interaction with Lakhpati Didis is the most important part for me. It shows support for women's entrepreneurship at the grassroots level. Hope it leads to more concrete policies and funding for them.

While visits by dignitaries are always welcome, I hope the focus remains on substantial development issues in the Northeast. Connectivity, job creation, and infrastructure should be the real agenda, not just ceremonies.

Good to see the VP's itinerary covering culture, education, and women empowerment all in one short visit. That's how official tours should be - holistic. Jai Hind!

The article also mentions the statue of V.O. Chidambaram Pillai. It's important that our leaders honor freedom fighters from all regions of India. This visit seems to carry that spirit forward to Tripura.
