Agartala, May 23, 2025: In a moment of immense pride for Tripura, Ganganagar Block in the Dhalai district has been conferred the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration as the Best Aspirational Block of the year 2025.

The recognition comes under the Government of India’s flagship Aspirational Districts Programme spearheaded by NITI Aayog, which aims to uplift socio-economic conditions in the country’s most underdeveloped regions through focused governance and innovative public service delivery.

A standout factor in Ganganagar’s success was the exemplary contribution of KrishiVigyan Kendra (KVK), Dhalai, which achieved 100% coverage of Soil Health Cards (SHC)—a key performance indicator (KPI) under the programme. This milestone played a crucial role in positioning Ganganagar at the top of the national rankings.

In a special felicitation ceremony held today, the District Magistrate and Collector of Dhalai presented Certificates of Appreciation to KVK Dhalai and other key stakeholders, acknowledging their tireless efforts and collaborative spirit that led to this national recognition.

“This award is not just a mark of achievement but a reflection of what determined teamwork and grassroots innovation can accomplish,” said the District Magistrate during the event.

The announcement has been met with enthusiasm across the state, as the achievement underscores Tripura’s growing prominence in national development indices and sets a benchmark for other aspirational blocks in the region.

The award is a testament to the district’s commitment to inclusive growth, sustainable agriculture, and effective implementation of central schemes, proving that focused efforts in rural development can yield truly transformative results.
