Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Saturday reiterated his government’s commitment to securing a separate Meghalaya cadre of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), a demand he has been pursuing since 2019.
Speaking at the annual conference of the Meghalaya Civil Service Officers’ Association, Sangma said the creation of a distinct IAS cadre remains a long-pending aspiration for the state and expressed optimism that the proposal will be realised soon.
“I have been pursuing the creation of a separate Meghalaya cadre since 2019, and I am hopeful this will soon be achieved. Reforms for the Meghalaya Civil Service (MCS) are equally a top priority,” he said.
The Chief Minister praised MCS officers for their dedication and service, emphasizing that administrative reforms are central to strengthening governance in the state.
“At the end of the day, we are all working toward the same goal—to serve the people of Meghalaya. Every decision, every policy must be driven by that purpose,” Sangma said, urging officers to remain guided by integrity and commitment rather than position or rank.
