SHILLONG: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Tuesday said the state government would soon roll out ‘MeghaMart’, an online platform to facilitate the sale and purchase of products sourced from local entrepreneurs. The idea comes in the wake of the CM mooting for a massive branding exercise of the products made from Meghalaya.
Terming it as ‘Amazon for Made-in-Meghalaya products’, he said the online platform would give access to people all over the world to the locally-made products of the state.
Informing this at the launch of the muga silk mission, he said the government has already prepared a database comprising 2,000 enterprises and more than 10,000 products available online.
The government will also discuss on making it mandatory for government departments to get the products from ‘MeghaMart’ to ensure local entrepreneurs are given their due benefit.
