Chief Minister Conrad Sangma said, right now the state Government has no plan to set up another State University.
Talking to reporters, Sangma assured that there will be the campus or the office of the Captain Williamson Sangma State University in Shillong.
He said after 50 years of statehood, the state government has come up with a State University.
“ I understand that as we do things, the expectations always go up but the State University should have happened a long time back. So it has started now. Of course in the first part, we will be having the campus or the office of the State University in Shillong also. but right now coming up with another University at the state level that is not in the cards right now as there is a lot of financial impact and so many factors that we have to look into,” the Chief Minister said.
“Obviously we will first have to start the current one then we may think of the second one. So let us first stabilize the first and see how things move forward and set up campuses in different parts of the state wherever we feel is necessary and then we can decide on the second phase,” he added.
