To further discuss on the problems and obstacles faced by the youth of the state to invest in their business, consultant of the Planning Commission, Government of India, Harsh Srivastava in the presence of an officer on special duty (MIE), Aibor Swer besides other young trainers and media persons discussed at length on this topic at Meghalaya Administrative Training Institute (MATI) here on Wednesday.
