It is an excellent model to be followed by other States. Size and population
plays a key role, bigger size and dense and higher population means more
corruption, more wastage giving poor outcomes. One more point what is the role
played by missionary/VHP schools in Tripura? There are some seats reserved with
financial aid to N-E students under Central quota in all States for higher
education. How many States can offer free college education? we need to wait to
judge the effect of no exam. upto VIII std. In-spite of such queries, the model
is expected to give better output to the nation, will help to improve GER upto
15% by 2020.

Perhaps some of this credit should also be attributed to the nature of leadership
- in particular the state's Chief Minister Manik Sarkar - CM since 11 March 1998
and the values he expounds (as in this Wiki)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manik_Sarkar
Personal life
Manik Sarkar is married to Panchali Bhattacharya, who has retired
from Central Social Welfare Board in 2011. Sarkar and his wife live a
very simple life. He is the only Chief Minister in India who has no house or a
car on his name. Even his wife takes a rickshaw while traveling, with no personal
security guards. [13] Sarkar donates his full salary that he receives as a Chief
Minister
to his party and in return, gets Rs. 5,000 (approximately $82 USD) per
month as his allowance. Some official sources list his monthly salary as
the lowest salary among all the Chief Ministers in India. Sarkar has often be
called the "cleanest and the poorest Chief Minister in the country". He has
enjoyed a corruption-free image even among his critics.[14]
In 2008, Sarkar's cash in hand and bank deposits totalled Rs.16,120.
According to his latest election affidavit, this amount has come down to
Rs.10,800. After the death of his mother Anjali Sarkar in 2009, Sarkar
inherited a small house in Agartala. He donated it to a kin.[15]

Its a great achievement indeed.One similarity between Kerala and Tripura deserves
attention.Both of the states have the legacy of the left rule for long periods of
time. Left may not run after the industrialists, but always focus on development
of human capital in terms of education, health etc. The model of China is worth
mentioning here and which was followed by the left rule in West Bengal. In all
these cases, human development was initiated to minimise communal divide, caste
division, spreading education and literacy and once, the social development
reaches a formidable state, the governments started to attract investors. I hope,
Tripura will also do the same within few years. We can criticise, left rule for
any reason, but we should be honest in acknowledging the positive spirit, it
encompasses for social development.
Congratulation to Tripura and other states, who have done something real positive
for social development.
Best wishes,Indranil Bose

It will be interesting to ascertain reasons for high literacy in Tripura. Good
governance and good leadership can be two reasons. Other reasons which could have
contributed are:
(a) No examinations till VIII class.
(b) It is easier to achieve targets with smaller states.

How Tripura became India's top literate stateTripura's feat of becoming the
highest literacy state in India is a result of its emphasis on the social sector,
including education, than blindly running after GDP growth
SHIVANGI NARAYAN | SEPTEMBER 09 2013
On September 8, Tripura's unassuming chief minister Manik Sarkar announced that
the tiny northeast Indian state is India's most literate state. At 94.65 percent
(based on final assessments by all districts), literacy rate of the state surged
past 93.91-percent literate Kerala.
"Our goal is to 100 percent literacy (and) we would attain that very soon,"
Sarkar said at a function held to mark the International Literacy Day.
So what was it that worked for a state that was 12th in the literacy list of 2001
census and fourth in 2011, as Sarkar mentioned? The state's focus on the social
sector, to believe its ministers and officials.

Why Sarkar isn't a national icon
As the millennium turned, and most states joined the 'development' or have the
high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) race, Tripura silently went on to ensure every
child in the state goes to school. The programme did not stop at the children; it
ensured that people who were left out of the fold of formal education, and were
too old to join it again, would be provided education to improve quality of their
lives.
The programmes were not just implemented to make the state literate but as long-
term education programmes to ensure all citizens have a certain basic minimum
level of education, Tripura's higher education, food and information and cultural
affairs minister Bhanu Lal Saha said. Education, as Saha stressed, is a necessary
tool to empower people, as "only an educated society can produce a good civil
society".
Tripura has 45 blocks and 23 subdivisions that are served by 68 government-run
schools and 30-40 privat schools.
Among projects implemented by the state government to increase literacy in the
state are:* Total literacy drive for people aged between 15 and 50 who have lost
the chance of entering formal education fold. A special programme – titled
improved pace and content learning (IPCL) – has been designed to provide basic
education to such people.
* 10,000 aaganwadi centres have 100 percent enrolment.* Policy of no examination
till class VIII to children people from dropping out.
* Midday meals in all schools with an eclectic menu for all days of the week to
attract more students.
* No tuition fee in government colleges.The holistic education system,
implemented with equal interest in Agartala, remote areas and the tribal
autonomic areas, makes sure that people in Tripura do not just become literate
but educated, officials emphasised. One pointer to the government's interest in
education is the near-total absence of child labour in Tripura.
Education also serves the larger purpose of improving the status of society. The
plan for 100 percent literacy is just the byproduct of this larger vision that
Tripura government has for the state, according to officials.
