Meghalaya CM calls for departments to work together with a broader vision

Shillong, June 13 (UNI) Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Friday said that different departments should align and work together with a broader vision and purpose for sustainable and inclusive human development.
“We often work tirelessly day and night, but without a clear goal, we end up achieving very little. That is why setting defined, measurable goals is crucial. The District Nutrition Challenge is not just about numbers – it is about purpose, impact, and improving the lives of our people, especially mothers and children,” he said while launching the District Nutrition Challenge, at the two day District Nutrition Leadership Workshop held in Shillong.
The event, organised by the Human Development Council (HDC) is to empower districts to define and pursue localized targets aimed at improving key nutrition indicators—such as promoting exclusive breastfeeding, reducing anemia, and making local food solutions more accessible through community-based programs.
