Williamnagar, 28 June: Tura Member of Parliament (MP), Agatha K Sangma, along with the local MLA and PHE Minister, Marcuise N. Marak, conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the implementation status of various centrally sponsored schemes in East Garo Hills (EGH).

The meeting took place under the purview of the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) and witnessed the presence of notable attendees, including the Deputy Commissioner of East Garo Hills, Vibhor Aggarwal, as well as officials from pertinent departments.

One of the significant schemes discussed during the meeting was the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G). In this regard, Marcuise N. Marak highlighted an issue wherein some beneficiaries expressed their desire to contribute funds for the construction of roads in their respective localities. However, such contributions are not permissible, and the officials urged Block Development Officers (BDOs) to educate and persuade the beneficiaries accordingly.

Moreover, it was revealed that a total of 67 roads, covering a distance of 234.911 kilometers, had been sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) in the district. Among these, 40 roads have already been completed. In light of this, the MP emphasized the need for the PMGSY implementing department to take action against contractors who failed to complete their assigned projects within the specified timeframe.

During the DISHA meeting, other schemes that underwent scrutiny included Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) and Swachh Bharat Mission under the Ministry of PHE, Meghalaya Health Sector Strengthening Project (MHSSP) and Pradhan Mantri Bharatiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PM-BHIM) under the Health and Family Welfare Department, Poshan Abhiyan under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) under the Soil and Water Conservation Department, as well as Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and Public Distribution System (PDS) for Priority Household (PHH) under the Supply Department.

Additionally, the National Food Security Mission and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) were examined under the purview of the Agriculture Department, while the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) came under the purview of the Fisheries Department. Lastly, the meeting addressed the progress of Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and the Mid-Day Meal program in the Education Department.
