The Karnataka Assembly Committee on Welfare of Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, and Other Backward Classes today visited Shillong and held interactions with the Meghalaya Governor and its counterpart of the assembly committee here.
During their interaction with the Governor, the delegation shared their insights and ongoing initiatives, while also highlighting key issues concerning access to education, livelihoods, and representation.
The Governor assured them of his support in ensuring that the concerns of backward and minority communities are given due attention at all relevant forums.
