Agartala, 7th December 2025: Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha today said that the introduction of golf in Tripura will serve as a major catalyst for tourism and business growth.
He said that this initiative will help showcase Tripura to the rest of the country and the world, bringing greater recognition to the state. Dr. Saha said this after attending the Tripura Open Golf Tournament, organized at Shalbagan as part of the Bharat Golf Mahotsav GFI Tour 2025—an inspiring joint initiative of the Tripura Golf Association and the TUSKER BSF Golf Club.
Dr Saha said that it is truly a matter of happiness that a national-level golf event is going to be organized here. “Many golfers were supposed to arrive here, but due to flight issues many couldn’t come. However, some of them have arrived. When Sports Minister Tinku Roy received the information, he extended his support and said that such events should indeed be held,” he said.
Dr. Saha also said that this venue was developed in a very short time and that arrangements were made for all necessary facilities required for playing golf. “This will be a milestone in the history of Tripura, as golf will now be played here. With this, tourism will increase, more people from outside will come, employment opportunities will be generated, and business will grow. A five-star hotel is also coming up, and because of this, Tripura will become known across the country and the world,” said Dr. Saha.
He further said that they have first focused on establishing golf here, and more initiatives will be taken in the coming days.
“We are performing well in sports, which is one of our priority sectors. The way youths will get involved will help us move towards creating a nesha mukt Tripura “, he added.
Sports minister Tinku Roy, Aloke Kumar Chakraborty, IG, BSF, President Tusker Golf Club, Aryavir Arya, General Secretary GFL, Devid Debbarma, President, TGA Biswendu Bhattacharjee, Vice President of TGA were present.
