SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, has passed a historic resolution commending Prime Minister Narendra Modi for 25 years of transformative public leadership and for the central government’s extensive support to the state’s development.
The resolution, adopted by the Cabinet Affairs Department, highlights Modi’s governance journey from Chief Minister of Gujarat to Prime Minister of India, crediting his “India First” philosophy for driving major national reforms.
The cabinet cited significant progress in poverty reduction, digital empowerment, women’s leadership, rural infrastructure, and agricultural welfare under his tenure.
Special mention was made of the North East’s prioritization within national development agendas.
For Meghalaya, the resolution pointed to major advancements enabled by increased central investment—capital outlays, the expansion of rural roads and bridges, the surge in tap water connections under Jal Jeevan Mission, and strong support for rural housing and MGNREGA.
The state also recognized improvements in health outcomes, women’s empowerment through self-help groups, and key achievements in tourism, IT, heritage, and cultural preservation.
The cabinet concluded by expressing deep gratitude to the Prime Minister and reaffirmed Meghalaya’s commitment to working closely with the Union Government for continued progress towards a “Viksit Meghalaya” within a developed India by 2047.
