Meghalaya CM Opens Dalu School Building, Vows To Continue Youth and Education Emphasis

A wave of hope swept over the residents of the West Garo Hills district on June 18 when Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma opened the two-story building of the new Dalu Government Higher Secondary School. The initiative, made under the umbrella of Mission Education Phase I, is a significant step in the direction of the state's drive towards rural educational infrastructure development.

Speaking of the purpose, CM Sangma underscored that the vision is not merely constructing classrooms. "We are dedicated to the all-round development of our youth — from sports and education to music and entrepreneurship," he said.

In a private message on his official X handle, he posted, "We have reconstructed and built new government schools and colleges in the past few years, and even established the Captain Williamson Sangma State University, the first in our state."

Through the investment of nearly ₹3,000 crore in sectors like youth entrepreneurship, sports, and education, Sangma reiterated the commitment of the government towards the building of the next generation. Initiatives like CM Elevate and PRIME form the crux of this exercise.

In the afternoon, he also inaugurated the PRIME Hub in Baghmara — a hub which was envisioned to make local entrepreneurs, self-help groups, and farmers stronger. "PRIME Hubs are becoming economic hubs, catalysing activity in favour of communities in livelihood-generating initiatives," he posted on Twitter, inaugurating the centre in favour of region people.

For Dalu's students and future entrepreneurs in Baghmara, the day was never about ribbon-cutting alone — it was a vow. A vow that even in the remoteness of the location, Meghalaya's youth will be provided with opportunities so that they can dream larger, reach higher, and build bigger lives.

In Sangma's words and deeds, the message came across clearly: development is not about buildings, but about human lives — and it starts with making the young strong.
