The Induction Programme for the newly admitted Semester-I students under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 was held today, the 14th of July, 2025, at Pramod Muktamanch, Ramthakur College, Agartala. The programme began at 11:00 AM with the lighting of the holy lamp and offering of floral tributes to Goddess Saraswati and to the founder of Ramthakur College, Late Pramod Ranjan Bhatta Chowdhury. The auspicious beginning was further enriched by the students’ soulful rendition of Saraswati Vandana.
In her welcome address, Dr. Papri Das, Principal-in-Charge of the college, warmly welcomed the new students and emphasized the importance of holistic education. She urged the students to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to academic excellence, ethical values, and self-development in line with the vision of NEP-2020.
The technical session that followed was primarily aimed at familiarizing the students with various aspects of the college, including its infrastructure, the NEP system, values, and ethics required to become responsible citizens, the Indian Knowledge System, the evils of addiction, the importance of discipline and code of conduct, career opportunities, and social harmony. A total of ten lectures were delivered by the experienced faculty members of the college on these themes.
The lectures, attended by thousands of students, were interspersed with vibrant cultural performances, including a Rabindra Nritya and a traditional Lebang-Bumani dance, which added colour and cultural flavour to the event.
The Heads of various Departments, faculty members, and office staff were formally introduced to the students. They shared brief overviews of their respective departments, highlighting curricular and co-curricular activities as well as the various student support systems available at the college.
The programme concluded with a Vote of Thanks delivered by Dr. Niranjan Das, Secretary of the Teachers’ Council and Convener of the Induction Programme. Dr. Das expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Principal-in-Charge, faculty members, office staffs, students, and volunteers for their valuable contribution towards the grand success of the event. The programme ended on a patriotic note with the rendition of Vande Mataram by the students.
Such an overwhelmingly successful Induction Programme has never been conducted before in the state of Tripura. The newly admitted students were treated with sweets at the end of the programme, drawing the curtains on this memorable and inspiring event.
