Chief Minister of Tripura, Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha, reiterated the state government’s
commitment to improving the socio-economic conditions of the rehabilitated Bru
migrants through skill development and livelihood opportunities.

He made these remarks while addressing a state-level Tool Kit Distribution Programme held at Anandadhara Town Hall in Amarpur, Gomati district. The Chief Minister distributed tool kits to the trained Bru beneficiaries, launched the stipend disbursement process for trained candidates, and released a booklet published by the Directorate of Skill Development. During the event, a total of 1,877 tool kits and 255 driving licences were distributed. Additionally, stipends amounting to ₹91.08 lakh were provided to 4,554 trained beneficiaries at the rate of ₹2,000 each.

Addressing the gathering, CM Dr. Saha said that since the formation of the present
government in 2018, both the Central and State Governments have been working
towards ensuring the permanent rehabilitation and long-term welfare of the Bru-Reang community people. He further stated that rehabilitation is meaningful only when families become financially independent and capable of earning a dignified livelihood.

The Chief Minister said that the tool kits provided today would enable beneficiaries to immediately utilize the skills acquired during training and begin generating income. Referring to the vision of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, he said that the central objective is not only to train young people but also to connect those skills directly with employment and livelihood opportunities. He further stated that the Central Government has already extended various basic services and support packages to the rehabilitated Bru families, and skill development is the natural next step in ensuring their long-term economic stability
