In a significant move towards industrial growth, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha unveiled the Uttar Poorva Transformative Industrialization Scheme, commonly known as UNNATI-24, aimed specifically at the northeastern region. Launched with an anticipated investment of Rs 10,037 crore, the initiative is projected to create 83,000 jobs over the course of ten years.

During the workshop on UNNATI-24 at Prajna Bhavan in Agartala, Chief Minister Saha highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's emphasis on northeastern economic progress, linking it to the broader prosperity of India. He noted that the initiative could see further investment, enhancing the manufacturing sector's competitiveness in the region.

Despite geographical challenges, including bordering Bangladesh on three sides, Tripura has improved its connectivity significantly, now boasting six national highways. The state has become an industry-friendly zone with micro and small enterprises thriving, and a special economic zone being developed. Efforts to attract further investment indicate a promising future for the state's industrial sector.
