Abstract
Tripura is situated in the north-eastern
corner of India. The Tripuri dynasty ruled over Tripura for centuries
(642-1949) and at last merged with Indian Union in 1949. Most of the rulers of
Tripuri Dynasty were illiterate and were totally dependent on the educated
Bengali officials for running the administration of their state till 18th
century. After Maharaja Rajdhar Manikya education was introduced in the Royal
house. The training of Royal male children was started in the palace by the
Bengali private tutors. But, education for subjects of the king was abandoned
for long. Gradually, in the process of modernization, many schools including
primary and secondary schools were established. A group of young educated
tribal felt that efforts should be made primarily for saving the tribal people
from the curse of illiteracy and poverty. They came forward out of this urge
and formed the Tripura Janasiksha Samity in 1945 and taken steps for
establishing schools in remote areas of Tripura.
