Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Wednesday said a state delegation led by him had met Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar during their recent visit to New Delhi and proposed that students from Meghalaya studying in RIMS and CAU, Imphal can be provided slots in Shillong or anywhere in the Northeast or even the Barapani campus of CAU to allow them to continue their studies for at least one year.
