A senior official of the Tripura Tribal Welfare Department said that the state was conferred with two prestigious national awards — best performing state in the implementation of PM-JANMAN and best performing state in the implementation of Dharti Aaba Janbhagidari Abhiyan (DAJA).

North Tripura district was also honoured as the best performing district under PM-JANMAN, while Gomati District was recognised for its exemplary performance in both AKA and DAJA, and the Unakoti and Dhalai Districts earned national acclaim for their outstanding contributions under DAJA.
