During the meeting, Saha urged developing the health sector with super-speciality hospitals and world-class medical facilities in a public-private-partnership model and liberalising export barriers with neighbouring Bangladesh.
Addressing the meeting, Dr VK Saraswat, a distinguished Indian scientist of defence research who led the Niti Aayog delegation, advised the officials to undertake sustainable development projects and focus on the potential areas where private enterprises could be encouraged for investment.
The Niti Aayog team also interacted with industry associations, civil society groups and academia on Wednesday at the state guest house.
Saha said the government needs guidance and support from the think tank to take Tripura's development to the next level.
