Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu are collaborating to strengthen tourism and healthcare ties. Meghalaya seeks to adopt Tamil Nadu’s successful healthcare practices while showcasing its scenic destinations to Tamil Nadu’s travelers. Enhanced air connectivity and upgraded infrastructure are in the works to streamline travel and boost visitor numbers between the two regions.

The government of Meghalaya is preparing to partner with the Tamil Nadu government to enhance tourism and foster stronger inter-state connections.

A key focus of collaboration lies in enhancing healthcare efficiency. Meghalaya has implemented innovative practices from the Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation (TNMSC) to optimize its medical supply chains, reducing waste and preventing the expiration of medicines. Furthermore, an agreement enabled the training of 100 doctors from Meghalaya in Tamil Nadu, significantly strengthening the healthcare capabilities of the state.

In the tourism sector, Meghalaya is working to draw travelers from Tamil Nadu to its picturesque locations, including Shillong and other breathtaking destinations. Efforts are underway to promote Meghalaya’s attractions specifically to Tamil Nadu residents. Sangma emphasized the deep ties between the two states, pointing out that many young people from Meghalaya travel to Chennai for education and medical treatment. He also mentioned plans to enhance Shillong Airport in Umroi, aiming for direct flights to major cities like Chennai, thereby reducing dependency on Guwahati for air travel.

Meghalaya is actively promoting MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions), along with music, eco-tourism, and adventure tourism, to enhance its attractiveness as a destination. Sangma highlighted the significance of building strong ‘sister-state’ partnerships, emphasizing the need for increased collaboration between states while maintaining robust connections with the central government.
