He also highlighted the government’s efforts to support entrepreneurship in various sectors, including agriculture, sports, and music.
During the event, 50 entrepreneurs from different regions of Meghalaya were commended for their accomplishments and had the opportunity to engage with the Chief Minister to discuss business expansion and seek ongoing government backing. The “Achievers of the Month” initiative will extend its recognition to individuals in sports, agriculture, education, and public service to foster a culture of innovation and excellence statewide.
