AGARTALA: To empower youths, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Friday launched the "Tripura Startup Policy-2024," under which financial support would be extended to entrepreneurs engaged in Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES).
Unveiling the "Tripura Startup Policy-2024" at a function, the Chief Minister said that if the youth are not developed, the development of the country is not possible.
He also criticised the previous governments for not supporting the youths, following which they were directionless.
"The Startup Policy initially started in 2019, and on Friday, we launched it in a new way, bringing in so many changes. Not only IT, but we have also added agriculture, bamboo, food, and other sectors. Youth never received support before, which is why they were directionless. Not all people can be given jobs," Saha said.
He said that it is a known fact that youth are very energetic and capable.
"However, their energy and enthusiasm often do not go in the right direction. This policy will channel their energy correctly and ensure that youth receive the needed help from the government," the Chief Minister said. (IANS)
