Shillong, Jan 15: On Wednesday, the Meghalaya state cabinet approved the Meghalaya School Service Rules, 2025.
Addressing media persons, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said, “This basically has been done because, in the past service rules, there was a very little scope for promotion when it comes to the LP school teachers and assistant teachers and they would be stuck in certain positions for many years and there is limited scope for promotion, which created a bit of conflict between different sections in the education department and hence after deep consultations with the different associations, the Education department has today amended the rules and this is going to pave way for a better scope of promotion when it comes to LP school teachers.”

Further, the CM informed that the cabinet has also approved the proposal of framing of state rules to regulate the payment of analysis fees for examination of various cases of exhibits, and articles in the directorate of forensic science under the home department.
“This is done because many a time the fact that we have the forensic lab right now the state-of-the-art, we are getting requests from different agencies, some government, some private as well as other states but we don’t have a system to classify these requests as well as to charge them as per the fees that are required,” he said while adding, “We have today just cleared based on the proposal that has come in to have classifications for agencies that of the government of Meghalaya. There are classes A (which includes the government of Meghalaya), B (includes agencies in Meghalaya but not under the administration of the government of Meghalaya), C (includes agencies not under the territorial jurisdiction or administration of Meghalaya) and D (shall include all agencies).”
