 Meghalaya celebrates 50 years of statehood. Guided by the strong vision of Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and under the dynamic leadership of Honourable Chief Minister Shri Konradke Sangma, Meghalaya has been able to achieve stupendous growth. Meghalaya is one of the best performing states by providing functional tap water connections to more than 2.7 lakh households. Meghalaya is one of the best states in implementation of national rural livelihood mission. Tourism is a key sector of the state's economy. To attract more tourists, there was a need to create new tourism infrastructure and upgradation of rural roads in the state. Meghalaya is the best state in the northeast in implementation of PMGSY. Through the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, more than 2 lakh farmers of the state have received financial support. From the input support to identification of buyers, the elaborate system of cooperative societies, collective marketing centres and farmers markets are facilitating the farmers. It is a matter of pride that Meghalaya revived the sporting ecosystem of the state. Meghalaya hosted the second Northeast Olympic Games with participation of 3,000 plus athletes. Many sports infrastructures have been constructed including the PA Sanma Sports Stadium, which is the largest in the country built with pre-engineering construction technology. Government of Meghalaya is supporting musicians, entrepreneurs, youth organisations through innovative schemes. Meghalaya's growth is already getting national and global recognitions.
