Shillong, Oct 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought Meghalaya’s development frameworks to be shared as best practices for other states to emulate, Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma said.
Highlighting the development, Sangma shared details of his recent meeting with Modi, describing it as an immensely satisfying moment that underscored Meghalaya’s growing stature on the national stage.
According to the Chief Minister, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), in coordination with the Ministry of Women and Child Development, formally requested him to present Meghalaya’s social transformation framework, particularly its flagship initiatives in public health, social welfare and early childhood care, for consideration and adoption by other states.
Under Sangma’s leadership, Meghalaya has introduced several targeted interventions, including a safe motherhood programme, efforts to reduce child malnutrition, and early childhood development initiatives described as first-of-their-kind in the country.
The state’s efforts include interventions aimed at reducing infant stunting and wasting, alongside measures to strengthen maternal and child healthcare and improve early childhood care.
Sangma said the request reflected Meghalaya’s growing role in national development and its efforts to strengthen grassroots governance, healthcare innovation and inclusive social development.
Emphasising the importance of political will and administrative commitment, the Chief Minister said the state’s achievements demonstrated that “where there is a will, there is a way”.
He expressed pride that Meghalaya was not merely participating in the country’s development but was also contributing models that other states could study and adapt to their local needs.
The proposed sharing of Meghalaya’s frameworks could help extend the state’s experience in social welfare, public health and early childhood development to other parts of the country.
