The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Chief Minister, Conrad Sangma, and Arts and Culture Minister, Paul Lyngdoh. Also present were distinguished members of the Khasi Literature Society and Acchik Literature Society.

BHASHINI, a flagship initiative under the Digital India programme, envisions leveraging cutting-edge natural language technologies to build a diverse and inclusive ecosystem that transcends language barriers. Already implemented in 22 Indian languages, the inclusion of Garo and Khasi will now enable Meghalaya to join a select group of states making their indigenous languages digitally accessible across the nation.
