M’laya CM inaugurates new MPSC office in Tura; first exams on Nov 14

Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on Saturday inaugurated the new office building of the Meghalaya Public Service Commission (MPSC) at Dakopgre area here in, West Garo Hills district.
The inauguration of the MPSC office marks a major step towards decentralising public service recruitment in the state.
The new MPSC office will conduct examinations, interviews, and related recruitment activities locally, easing travel burdens for candidates and improving access to government employment opportunities in the Garo Hills region. Addressing the gathering, Sangma said the new MPSC office will be a great relief for candidates from the Garo Hills, who earlier had to travel “10 to 15 hours overnight to Shillong” to appear for examinations and interviews.
“Many would arrive tired and go straight to the exam hall without rest. With this new facility, students can now give their exams and interviews right here in Tura,” the Chief Minister said.
“The challenges of long travel and lack of rest had often affected candidates’ performance and described the inauguration as one of the most meaningful milestones for youth in the region,” he pointed out.
The Chief Minister announced that the first MPSC examination in Tura will be held on November 14, 2025, calling it a new chapter in making public service recruitment more inclusive and accessible.
He further informed that his government is mulling to establish similar facilities in the Jaintia Hills to ensure equal opportunities for aspirants across Meghalaya.
Speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, Thomas Sangma, who attended the inauguration, termed the occasion a landmark moment that “heralds a new chapter in the journey of transparent, accountable, and people-centric governance.”
The programme was attended by MPSC Chairman Dawhoi Langstang, Deputy Commissioner of West Garo Hills district Vibhor Aggarwal, Superintendent of Police of West Garo Hills district Abraham Sangma, and officials from various government departments.
