The royal scion and popular political leader of Tripura, Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma, today visited Bir Bikram Memorial College (BBMC), where he was greeted with immense warmth and affection from students, faculty members, and supporters.
Pradyot, who has emerged as a prominent voice for the indigenous people of the state, expressed his gratitude to the college community for their love and hospitality. “Thank you for the love and hospitality all of you gave me,” he said while addressing the gathering. His words were met with loud cheers, reflecting the deep respect and admiration he commands among the youth.
During his visit, Pradyot interacted with students on a range of issues concerning education, opportunities for tribal youth, and the need for inclusive development in Tripura. He encouraged the younger generation to stay focused on their studies and to play an active role in shaping the future of the state.
The visit also carried symbolic significance, as Bir Bikram Memorial College is named after Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya, regarded as the “Architect of Modern Tripura.” Pradyot, being a descendant of the royal family, emphasized the importance of upholding the legacy of the Maharaja, who laid the foundation for higher education and modernization in the state.
Supporters gathered in large numbers outside the campus to catch a glimpse of the leader. Many students and local residents took selfies and greeted him personally, showcasing the strong connect Pradyot shares with the common people, especially the youth.
Political observers note that his continuous outreach to educational institutions and grassroots communities reflects his effort to stay closely connected with the aspirations of the people. For many, today’s event was not just a college visit but a reminder of the enduring bond between the royal family and the people of Tripura.
The event concluded with cultural performances by students, followed by a brief interaction session where Pradyot patiently listened to the concerns raised by the youth. His assurance to work towards a brighter future for the tribal and non-tribal communities of Tripura left a lasting impression on the attendees.
