The people of the area are getting involved in Tripura Jute Mill Ltd and taking interest in the Co-operative Society which is helping them in developing their socio-economy. Annually each family involved in production of jute fiber has earned Rs 4,119 from Tripura jute Mill Ltd. Craftsmen in Hapania Jute cluster (Cooperative society) has earned averaged profit of Rs 2,750 per month hence, 33,000 per year per person. Jute cultivator of the Tripura had a secure purchaser for their raw material.
