The State Cabinet on Friday approved the appointment of a full time Secretary of the Meghalaya State Council of Technical Education (MSCTE) and executive chairman of the Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE).
Speaking to reporters, Law Minister Ampareen Lyngdoh said it has been a felt need that the government should install a full time Secretary of the MSCTE considering the fact that the polytechnics are almost in several districts including Shillong, Tura and Jowai and four more are also in the pipeline.
“The current additional director DHTE (Directorate of Higher Technical Education) A Ali will be going for retirement shortly and it has also been decided in the Cabinet that she will be the first time full time secretary of the MSCTE for 24 months,” she said.
