The sanctioned assistance will support projects including the construction of school buildings and additional classrooms, community and multipurpose halls, office facilities for grassroots organisations, sanitation units, basketball courts, drinking water systems, washing platforms, ambulance services, sports equipment and educational resources.
Among the beneficiaries were Synjuk Rangbah Shnong Dorbar Raid Mathan, Chibak Agalgittim Sports & Cultural Club, Laitnongrim Upper Primary School, Church of God (M&A), Sohryngkham, Rangthong Cultural Club and Sports Association, Reach Shillong Ministries, Mizo Women Welfare Society, Umpling Presbyterian Secondary School and St. Anthony’s Higher Secondary School, among others.

The Chief Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to balanced and inclusive growth, stressing that priority would continue to be given to projects identified at the grassroots level. He urged that every sanctioned project be implemented efficiently and completed within the stipulated timeframe to ensure timely benefits for the people.
