Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha announced that the state government will explore ways to enhance nursing education in Tripura, following the success of students securing nursing jobs in Japan under the Specified Skill Workers Scheme.
Speaking at an event at TIFT, CM Saha felicitated six candidates who have been trained under the Mukhya Mantri Dakhyata Unnayan Prakalpa and will soon begin their careers in Japan’s healthcare sector.
Global Opportunities for Tripura’s Nursing Graduates
CM Saha emphasized that ANM, GNM, and B.Sc Nursing graduates from the state have gained international job placements through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Japan. He also highlighted that many students have already migrated to Japan and that the government will continue sending more candidates.
“These students are joining the nursing profession in Japan after receiving specialized training. To work there, they must learn Japanese, for which they are sent to Noida for a nine-month language training course. More students will be given this opportunity in the future,” said CM Saha.
Pride for Tripura & India
Calling it a “moment of great pride”, CM Saha urged students to represent Tripura and India with excellence in Japan.
“Why should we just wait for jobs here? Our students are now going abroad, which is a very happy occasion. Nursing is a service profession, and as a medical faculty myself, I believe there is no greater field than this. They will serve people and uphold India’s reputation,” he added.
Future Scope & Salary Prospects
CM Saha further assured that the government is working on enhancing the quality of nursing education to create more global job opportunities for students. He also stated that those working in Japan will receive salaries exceeding ₹1 lakh per month.
Industries and Commerce Minister Santana Chakma, Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury, and State Government Secretary Kiran Gitte were among the dignitaries present at the event.
