GARO HILLS: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, alongside Speaker Thomas A. Sangma, officially launched the distribution of M-Tabs (learning tablets) to students in West Garo Hills on Tuesday during a ceremony at the District Auditorium in Tura. The M-Tab initiative is part of the Chief Minister’s Student Digital Learning Scheme, aimed at enhancing e-Education in the state.
The tablets come pre-loaded with comprehensive resources for higher secondary level exams across all streams, including study materials, mock question papers, past exam papers, and solved answers. They also feature high-quality audio, video, animations, and 3D graphics to support interactive learning.
He highlighted how rapidly advancing technology is reshaping education and affirmed the government’s commitment to integrating technology into learning to make it more engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable. “Digital learning, through audio-visual and pictorial content, makes education easier and more accessible,” he added.
Sangma also shared that the state government is prioritizing the development of the IT sector, including the establishment of IT parks in Shillong and Tura, as well as the laying of optical fiber networks.
“We hope to complete these projects in the next two years, ensuring that every school has access to optical fibers. The process has already begun,” he said.
Highlighting the success of the existing IT park in Shillong, Sangma revealed that it currently serves clients from the US and Europe, with Meghalaya’s youth working on AI-driven solutions for industries in those regions.
