Shillong (Meghalaya), Jan 22 : Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma made history on Wednesday by inaugurating the office building of the Hima Mawphlang at Lumrynkew Mawiong, Mawphlang in East Khasi Hills. The Hima has been a cornerstone of tradition and culture for nearly 1000 years, yet surprisingly, it had been functioning without a dedicated office until now.
During the inauguration, the Chief Minister hailed the Hima Mawphlang as a cherished heritage of the people, symbolizing their rich culture, traditions, and identity. He also assured that the government would provide necessary funds to support the office’s infrastructure requirements.
Furthermore, CM Sangma praised Mawphlang village as a revered tourist destination, famous for its Sacred Grove and Heritage Village. To boost tourism in the area, he announced that ₹25 Crore would be sanctioned through the Swadesh Darshan Scheme for the development of a Tourism Center and infrastructure upgrades in the Sacred Grove area. Additionally, posts have been sanctioned for the Mawphlang Science & Commercial College.
