Shillong, Aug 2: Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said though nobody is against the National Education Policy (NEP), challenges in implementing it are in terms of manpower and infrastructure and the government is ready to extend help.
“Therefore, in any kind of change that is there in the system transition has its own challenges and hence, we don’t expect or that everything will happen in a smooth manner but we understand that it is not so simple and hence the challenges will be there,” Chief Minister Conrad Sangma told reporters on Wednesday.
Cabinet okays MPSC rules
The cabinet has approved the service rules of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC).
Conrad said the MPSC has been functional for decades but it did not have service rules for its employees.
“Hence, today in the cabinet, we have finally cleared the service rules of the MPSC,” he said.
Medical council act amendment
Conrad said the cabinet also approved the amendment of the Meghalaya Medical Council Act (MMCA), 1987.
Earlier, there used to be the Medical Council of India (MCI) and in the MMCA, the word MCI was still there but as you are aware, the MCI has been changed and now it is the National Medical Commission (NMC) and that particular word had to be amended in the Act of the MMCA, he added.
