Announcing the move on Twitter, the CM wrote, “Youth comprise 30% of #Meghalaya's population. In line with the #NationalYouthPolicy, the Meghalaya State Youth Policy is being formulated to shape the future of our youth. The draft will be put up in public domain by Nov 2020 & will then be presented to the Cabinet (sic).”

The National Youth Policy, 2014 (NYP-2014) seeks to define the Vision of the Government of India for the Youth of the Country and identify the key areas in which action is required, where not enough is being done, to enable youth development and to provide a framework for action for all stakeholders.

Therefore, the Meghalaya government's youth policy is expected to be something along those lines as well.
