Empowered SFI-TSU Leaders Unleash Passionate Protest at Shiksha Bhavan with 5 Bold Demands for Change

Protest Highlights Education Crisis in Tripura

Agartala, January 20, 2025: The SFI-TSU Sadar and Dukli divisional committees organized a significant protest today in front of Shiksha Bhavan, spotlighting the deteriorating state of education in Tripura. The demonstrators marched from Paradise Chowmuhani to highlight their 5-point demand, which centers on the teacher shortage crisis in schools and colleges and the cancellation of the controversial Vidyajyoti project.

Addressing the protestors, SFI State Secretary Sandipan Deb accused the BJP-led administration of negligence that has left the education system in tatters. “Since the BJP took office in Tripura, numerous government schools have been shut down, undermining the state’s education sector. We’ve seen a drastic cut of about 10,000 teachers in schools, compounded by a lack of faculty in colleges. The situation has only worsened during this government’s tenure,” Deb decried.

The protest underscores pressing concerns among students and youth, demanding the prevention of school closures, resolution of teacher shortages, and the revocation of the Vidyajyoti project. They are also calling for reductions in educational costs and the provision of regular stipends, all aimed at making education more accessible and effective.

Notably, the organizers had previously informed the directors of Shiksha Bhavan about the planned demonstration but reported no response from authorities. This inaction further fuelled their determination to demand significant changes in the educational landscape.

This protest is not just a stand against educational policies but a clarion call for immediate action to rectify the deeply embedded issues plaguing the system. Activists remain resolute in their mission, vowing to persist in their protest until the government addresses their demands and takes concrete steps toward restoring the integrity of Tripura’s education system.
