Meghalaya CM assists student play guitar while visiting village school, earns appreciation

A heartwarming video of Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma helping a student learn guitar chords while visiting a school has gone viral on Instagram and earned appreciation from its users.

While on his visit to Nongspung A village in the constituency of Jirang, the Chief Minister was found teaching students at a local school. While watching them at play, he couldn't help but notice one shy little boy struggling with playing the guitar. Instead of just standing and watching, Sangma intervened and showed him how to put the correct chords on and how to hold and play the guitar himself.

Encouraging future talent

Posting the video on his Instagram account, Sangma wrote in the caption, "At Nongspung A village of Jirang, one student was very eager to play the guitar, so I gifted one to the school during my visit there. He is an amateur today, but I'm sure he will learn and play when we dedicate their new school building some day."

Social media fans filled the comment section with admiration. One of them wrote, "This is the kind of leadership that inspires real change." Another added, "Not only a politician, but also a mentor. Respect!"

A third posted, "Music, kindness, and leadership—what a beautiful blend!" whereas another added, "This is the content we love to see from our leaders."
