The Tripura Antyodaya Diwas event emphasized the rollout of technology solutions to villages across the state.
On Antyodaya Diwas, Tripura marked a day dedicated to uplifting the poorest sections of society, with this year’s theme centred on bringing technology to rural areas. Organisers used the occasion to showcase digital tools, agricultural innovations and connectivity projects aimed at narrowing the urban‑rural divide.
Demonstrations were set up in several villages, allowing farmers, artisans and other residents to interact with devices and online platforms that could help them access market information, improve productivity and enhance service delivery.
State officials said the initiative dovetails with broader plans to modernise agriculture, education and health services in remote parts of Tripura. By introducing affordable tech solutions, the government hopes to boost income opportunities and improve quality of life for the state’s most vulnerable communities.
Early feedback from participants was positive, with many expressing eagerness to adopt smartphones and internet services for daily needs and business activities.
