 SHILLONG: The week-long training on Integrated Livestock and Poultry Production for Sustainable Hill Agriculture conducted by the Division of Livestock Production of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) NEH Region, Umiam which began on October 1, concluded at the ICAR premises here on Saturday

Urban Affairs Minister distributed the certificates to the 41 participants of the training programme which was organized in collaboration with the Meghalaya Pradesh Youth Congress (MPYC).

Delivering her speech, Urban Affairs Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh pointed out that the state is dependent on other states for various things like food items, essential commodities and organising such programme will not only boost the economic development of the state but also help the youth to be independent.

“With youth comprising more than 66 per cent of the State’s population, it is important that they learn to stand on their feet,” she said. Meanwhile, MPYC president Gabriel Wahlang said that the aim of this programme was to help the youth to be independent and to encourage them to become entrepreneurs.

“Through the Youth Employment Vision, efforts are being made to look for ways and means to ease the burden of unemployment by shaping the youth’s skills and talents in their various fields,” he added.

Director of ICAR Dr S V Ngachan was also present on the occasion.
