About TEST

Historical Background

In Tripura there are three existing Engineering Associations besides TEST in state level

• All Tripura Engineers Association (A.T.E.A.)
• State Engineers Association Tripura (S.E.A.T.)
• All Tripura Diploma Engineers Association (A.T.D.E.A.)

They have been working since long but their activity in the interest of Indigenous Engineers has not been appreciable, moreover some time they moves against the reservation or against the interest of the Indigenous Engineers.

Considering the situation with future perspective, in the year 2001, the Senior & Unemployed Engineers from various Government and Non-Government Sector of Tripura came out with a solution to form a common platform for Indigenous Engineers by the name of "TRIBAL ENGINEERS' SOCIETY, TRIPURA" (T.E.S.T.) in order to tackle the legitimate right of Indigenous people. Where all the Degree and Diploma ST Engineers irrespective of being employed / unemployed can enroll in this society.
