Informing that separate schemes aiming at cooperative societies and farmers’ and producers’ groups will be introduced by the state government, Sangma hoped that the problems related to access of market and marketability of products will be resolved soon by providing marketing linkages through the upcoming All Garo Hills Multi Purpose Cooperative Society (AGHMPCS) project at Babadam.

He further stated that the government is providing financial help as seed money under FOCUS and has also earmarked the financial needs for the projects to be run by the cooperative societies. Another project worth Rs. 280 crore is also going to be head started soon under the Minority Ministry in Babadam, Sangma informed .
While addressing the gathering in the function, the local MLA, Thomas A Sangma highlighted the state government’s initiatives in giving emphasis to this region of the state.
