Agartala, 11th October 2026 : Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha today said that Civil Service officers play a vital role in delivering various welfare schemes of the Central and State Governments to the common people, especially those at the marginalised levels, and are the backbone of the state administration.
The Chief Minister said this at a clothes distribution programme organised by the Tripura Civil Service Officers Association at the auditorium of the Nursing College and AGDC Complex, adjacent to IGM Hospital in Agartala, today.
He appreciated the humanitarian initiative of distributing new clothes to the sanitation workers and security personnel of IGM Hospital and Dental College on the occasion of the upcoming Durga Puja.
The Chief Minister said that, in addition to performing their administrative duties, TCS officers play an active role in various social and humanitarian activities.
“Their participation in standing by the people during natural disasters, organising blood donation camps, distributing winter clothes, and participating in various social programmes is commendable. Such initiatives strengthen the relationship between the common people and the administration and send a positive message to society,” he said.
Referring to the administrative achievements of the state, the Chief Minister said that TCS officers had made a significant contribution to the successful organisation of important international programmes, such as the G-20 Science Plenary Session held in Tripura.

The Chief Minister told the officers that earning the trust of the people through their work is more important than rank or educational qualifications.
“People cannot be won over by merely making assurances. Real trust can be achieved only by working sincerely for them,” he said.Dr. Saha also called upon the officers to discharge their duties with honesty, transparency, and dedication.
Chief Minister’s Secretary Kiran Gitte, TCS Officers Association Secretary Asim Saha, Director of Health Dr. Debashree Debbarma, Superintendent of IGM Hospital Dr. Nirmal Sarkar, and other dignitaries were present at the programme.
