Tripura University is a Central
University.
Tripura University epitomizes the aspirations of the state’s
people for academic excellence at the highest level and quest
for knowledge. It is axiomatic that knowledge alone forms the
basis of progress and development in the present
internet-driven world. What, however, is of crucial importance
is successful dissemination of knowledge and making it easily
accessible to learners. With its cryptic motto ‘pursuit of
excellence’ Tripura university has dedicated itself to this
noble task ever since it had been launched on October 2 1987.
The dream of the state’s people had come true on the birth
anniversary day of the ‘Father of the Nation’. A flash-back to
the historical background of the university sheds fascinating
light on the series of developments that culminated in the
setting up of the university. The state’s first institution of
higher education, MBB college, had commenced functioning from
1947 with affiliation from Calcutta University but in the
immediate aftermath of partition the population of the state
registered a steep growth and so did the number of students
aspiring for higher education. |
