Tripura secures two national healthcare awards at Chintan Shivir in Pune
Agartala: Tripura has once again showcased its growing strength in healthcare governance and digital innovation, securing two significant national recognitions under the flagship Government of India programmes at the prestigious Chintan Shivir Pune.
The National Health Authority (NHA) successfully concluded the two-day Chintan Shivir on Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) in Pune.
The state's consistent progress in strengthening public health systems and embracing technology-driven healthcare delivery was highlighted by these achievements.
The awards were presented under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, with states and union Territories being evaluated on critical performance indicators, news agency UNI reported.

Tripura was recognised as the Best Performing Small State in Timely Processing of Suspicious Claims (TAT) under AB PM-JAY, reflecting its efficiency in detecting, scrutinising, and resolving potentially fraudulent or irregular claims within stipulated timelines.
The performance ensures transparency, financial discipline, and trust in one of the world's largest health assurance schemes. Tripura was honoured as the Best Performing State under Top State in IEC-CB Activities, recognizing its outstanding efforts in Information, Education, Communication, and Capacity Building (IEC-CB) initiatives.
The award underscores Tripura's success in promoting awareness about digital health services, onboarding healthcare providers, and encouraging citizens to adopt digital health records and platforms.
The awards also reflect the crucial role played by the National Health Mission team in driving these initiatives forward through effective implementation and grassroots-level engagement.
At the national conclave, several other states and union Territories were also honoured for excellence in parameters such as pre-authorization approval timelines, bio-authentication rates, completion of mandatory training modules, and digital health adoption.
However, Tripura's dual recognition stands out as a testament to its balanced focus on administrative efficiency and digital transformation.
“These achievements align with Tripura's broader commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery systems, ensuring accountability, and embracing innovation. The recognition at a national platform like the Chintan Shivir reinforces the state's position as a model performer among smaller states, particularly in areas requiring precision, responsiveness, and public engagement,” said Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha, who also holds the health portfolio.
