Tripura University is a public central research university, the main public government university of the state of Tripura in India.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

Higher education in Tripura has its beginning with Maharaja Bir Bikram College (MBBC), the first-degree college in the state, established in 1947, and affiliates to Calcutta University (CU). This was followed by Ramkrishna Mahavidyalaya in 1950, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar College formerly known as Belonia College in 1964 and Ramthakur College in 1967, all affiliated to the CU. No postgraduate college existed in Tripura, until in 1967 the University Grants Commission (UGC) sanctioned a post-graduate wing of CU, named Calcutta University Post graduate Centre (CUPGC), established in 1985. In 1987 Tripura University was established through the Tripura University Act, on the grounds of CUPGC.[2]

In 2007 Tripura University was elevated to a central university under the Tripura University Act, 2006.[3] Sudip Bandopadhya was appointed the first chancellor and Arunoday Saha the first vice-chancellor (VC).[4] Saha was followed by Anjan Kumar Ghosh,[5] followed by Vijaykumar Laxmikantrao Dharurkar, who was appointed the third VC in July 2018.[6] In September 2019, Dharurkar resigned over corruption allegations[7] and was replaced by acting VC Sangram Sinha.[8] Sinha was replaced by acting VC Mahesh Kumar Singh in January 2020,[9] who remained in the position until August 2020, when Ganga Prasad Prasain was appointed VC.[10]
