Meghalaya to set up new University in Ri Bhoi

SHILLONG: The Meghalaya Cabinet announced to establish the State Veterinary, Dairy and Fisheries Science University, at Kyrdem Kulai in Ri Bhoi.

Informing media, Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong said that they have instructed the concerned department to bring back the draft bill of the university and to work out all the details, while adding that they have also sought the financial implications of the decision.

“We will accord the approval once the draft is placed in the Cabinet,” he said.

“The proposal was sent back since there is a need to fine tune the final draft for setting up of the National Law School,” the deputy chief minister said.
