Tripura
One of the isolated states of India’s northeast, Tripura is located between Assam, Mizoram and shares an international border with Bangladesh. It is rich in natural resources such as natural gas and limestone and is also one of the largest producers of rubber in the country, but it has little industry. Tripura was governed by the Indian communist party for decades until the recent elections in 2018 during which the BJP swept into power. The new government could leverage the state’s high literacy rates and proximity to Bangladesh and Southeast Asia to turn it into a trade transit hub.

Health
While India’s healthcare system is expansive in terms of the number of beneficiaries covered, inequalities in access to high-quality yet affordable care continue to plague delivery systems and push citizens towards the more unregulated private sector. Similarly, while India’s National Health Policy of 2017 promises to reform this system, the responsibility to institute those reforms falls to the states who each have their own unique challenges and opportunities to meet the healthcare needs of their people. This section allows you to explore emerging healthcare policies and news covering new initiatives from India’s states and offers the Wadhwani Chair’s analysis of India’s healthcare sector.
