amily Welfare Minister AL Hek on Saturday claimed that Meghalaya has a good literacy rate and has sound healthcare facilities.

The Health Minister made the claims while speaking at the ninth North East Business Summit 2013, a flagship conference of the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and supported by the Ministry of DoNER, at Dibrugarh, Assam.
