Tura, Nov 8: The West Garo Hills Top 3 District Stars were announced on Tuesday at an event held here marking the culmination of the Aspire Meghalaya District Talent Events 2022 that started on October 6.
An important part of the Aspire Meghalaya initiative was the identification of emerging talents from across the state. Talent discovery platforms were integrated into the campus training interventions that have seen the emergence of 348 promising talents from a pool of 1,300 youths from across districts in talent spaces, like singing, dancing, sports and visual arts. The Top 3 talents were selected by a panel of District Talent Committee members at each district event.
Launched in March 2022, the Aspire Meghalaya initiative is focused on encouraging grassroots engagement, building critical soft skills for life, improving career aspirations, and identifying emerging talents across districts. The programme was an initiative of the Directorate of Sports and Youth Affairs, and was supported by the State Education Mission Authority Meghalaya (SEMAM). The project is implemented by Meghalaya-based Social Enterprise, AVENUES.
