Shillong: Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Monday laid the foundation stone for P A Sangma International Medical College and Hospital in Ri-Bhoi district.
He said it was befitting that the foundation stone was laid at the University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya (USTM) in a year when India is celebrating its 75th anniversary of Independence and Meghalaya is observing its 50th year of statehood.
The year also marks the 75th birth anniversary of the CM's father P A Sangma, after whom the upcoming hospital has been named.
The first private medical college in the state will follow standards second to none, the CM said.
He said his father was instrumental in establishing USTM and naming the medical college after him was a tribute to the late leader. The chief minister said the biggest investment a government or a society can make is in human capital.
