Tipra Academicians’ Forum is an association of permanent faculty members serving as Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, and Professors in colleges and universities across the country belonging to the indigenous communities of Tripura. The Forum seeks to make voluntary and meaningful contributions towards the strengthening of the education system, with special emphasis on supporting students from indigenous and underrepresented backgrounds, particularly those pursuing higher education.
