SHILLONG: Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Thursday felicitated Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examination toppers of Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBoSE) at a programme organised by University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya (USTM) in Shillong in presence of Education Minister Lahkmen Rymbui.

Speaking at the felicitation programme, the Chief Minister said that Universities should play an important role through research and collaborate with the government.

“Our Universities should be involved at the highest level of research to assess the impact of different policies of the government. They should play a bigger role and report to the government with constructive suggestions so that the government is able to take an informed decision for the greater interest of the society,” he said.

He also informed that the Education Policy conceived by the government is in final stage of completion and will be out soon.

“We are committed that the policy will guide us in our mission to enhance education facilities and services for the student community,” he added.

He said that government has collaborated with institutions in the State to ensure that students from Meghalaya qualify in Indian Civil Service Examination  since lack of coaching facilities poses hindrance for the students to qualify in civil service examination.

Talking at length on entrepreneurship, the Chief Minister said that the potential of the youth has to be harnessed through entrepreneurship. “We are trying to create an environment for our youth to be engaged in meaningful livelihood opportunities by promoting entrepreneurship,” he added.

It may be mentioned that   USTM  in association with ERD Foundation , Guwahati felicitated all the  40 toppers of SSLC 2018  under MBoSE
