About Tripura Commission for Women

Acknowledgement

The present Report is a compilation of statements regarding various initiatives and activities undertaken by the Tripura Commission for Women between the period April 2007 and March 2008 for protecting the rights and interests of women in the State. It is our great pleasure to present the Annual Report of the Commission although one year is perhaps too short to assess the achievements in dealing with all the woes of women in our State. However, the Commission tried with all its sincerity and commitments to comply with the mandate of the Act. 
We would like to express our special thanks and gratitude to the National Commission for Women for sharing its views with State Commissions on important issues relating to women in the country and for commissioning to sponsor studies and programmes drawn separately for North Eastern States. We are also grateful to the National Commission for Women for sanctioning study projects and Legal Awareness Programmes for the Tripura Commission for Women during the period under report. 
We would like to take this opportunity to record our very special thanks and deep gratitude to Sri Manik Sarkar, the Honourable Chief Minister of Tripura, for his invaluable advice and suggestions for standing beside the victim and helpless women of the State impartially at the very outset of this Commission’s journey. The Commission tried its utmost to translate his words into action.
We do record our heartfelt thanks and deep gratitude to Sri Manik Dey for the support and understanding that he extended to the Commission during his tenure as Minister, Social Welfare and social education, Government of Tripura.
