Tripura is set to get a world-class eco-park modeled after Kolkata’s Nicco Park, as part of the state's efforts to boost tourism.
Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury convened a crucial meeting on Monday with Rajiv Kaul, Managing Director of Kolkata Nicco Park, to discuss the project’s establishment at Sachindranagar Colony in Jirania under the West District.
Highlighting the state’s progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, Minister Chowdhury emphasized that Majlishpur Assmebly Constituency is advancing in step with modernization.
“To position Tripura’s tourism industry on the global map and attract both domestic and international visitors, we are developing a state-of-the-art eco-park at Sachindranagar Colony, Jirania. This ambitious project, modeled after Kolkata’s Nicco Park, is estimated to cost approximately Rs 50 crore,” he stated.
The project has been approved under the central government’s ‘Swadesh Darshan 2.0’ initiative, and efforts are underway to accelerate its implementation. As part of this process, Minister Chowdhury, along with Rajiv Kaul, Nicco Park President Rahul Mitra, Arup Goswami, and Tourism Department Secretary Uttam Kumar Chakma, visited the designated site, accompanied by officials and local residents.
“The eco-park will not only create employment opportunities but also improve the quality of life for the local population,” the minister added.
