MAWKYRWAT, Nov 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday virtually laid the foundation stone for the construction of an Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) in Domjyrti village under Mawkyrwat C&RD Block, South West Khasi Hills.
This initiative is part of the Centre’s efforts to enhance educational infrastructure for tribal communities nationwide.

Expressing his optimism, Tongkhar highlighted the growing presence of quality educational institutions in Mawkyrwat, including private and government initiatives.
