USTM remembers PA Sangma on his 77th Birth Anniversary

Shillong, Sept 1: A floral tribute to Late PA Sangma, former Lok Sabha Speaker and Meghalaya Chief Minister was made on his 77th birth anniversary by the University of Science and Technology-Meghalaya, on Sunday.

A solemn ceremony was conducted where the university chancellor Mahbubul Hoque reflected on the enduring influence of Sangma and how the late leader has been an all-time inspiration and support to USTM since its inception.

“His memory is our guiding light,” Hoque stated, highlighting the upcoming PA Sangma International Medical College and Hospital, a cutting-edge multi-specialty facility approved by the Meghalaya Cabinet, as a tribute to Sangma’s legacy.

Prof GD Sharma, USTM Vice-Chancellor, emphasized the university’s dedication to preserving Late PA Sangma’s memory, noting, “At USTM, we honor his legacy through the establishment of a Chair for Tribal Research and by naming a university block after him. These efforts ensure that future generations will continue to draw inspiration from his life and ideals.”

Meanwhile, Dr Rashna Dass Hazarika, Medical Superintendent of PIMC, echoed these sentiments, praising Sangma as a visionary leader and founder of the National People’s Party, the first national political party from the North East. “His legacy continues to inspire us, and we remain forever grateful to him,” she remarked.
