The meeting, held in Shillong, aimed to outline a clear roadmap for progress under the leadership of Chief Minister Sangma.

It has been most importantly, a very educative meeting where we have very clearly outlined in many ways the areas of all competence and comparative advantage of Meghalaya. The chief minister and his government's path of progress and development for the state..." Scindia stated.

During the visit, Scindia also launched the NERACE App, designed to integrate farmers and sellers onto a unified digital platform. This initiative aims to connect farmers from the Northeastern region with global markets, thereby enhancing their income opportunities.
