This inspection came after the union had received several complaints from the public with regard to the lack of services in the PHC.

During the inspection, the Union met representatives of the Mawryngkneng PHC and learned firsthand that the health centre lacks doctors, drivers for ambulances and other supporting staff and they have expressed difficulties in providing health services to the people.

It is learnt that till date this newly upgraded PHC does not have a driver for the ambulance and for time being the health centre has to hire private vehicles to ferry those who need medical assistance.

The KSU urged the staff or the Mawryngkneng PHC to take up these issues with the health department to provide all necessary assistance to the health centre in order to be able to provide quality health services to the public at large.

On the other hand, the KSU urges the MLA and MDC of Mawryngkneng constituency to take up the matter with the concerned department and also to take necessary steps in ensuring that all necessary assistance is provided to the health centre for better smooth functioning.

Upscaling Hobby to Business- the story of Harador Khariong’s Plant Parenthood

“If done with full commitment and passion whether it’s art, science or music, one can achieve their goal to make things work better and the satisfaction you will get is beyond your imagination”— Harador Khariong, Founder-Plant Parenthood

For Harador Khariong, a resident of Wahingdoh Shillong, East Khasi Hills Meghalaya, Plant Parenthood started as a hobby and out of love for plants during her college days. This eventually became more interesting and turned to be a career option in planting in the year 2020, especially succulents because they were relatively easier to take care of.

It was during the Northeast Food Show 2022 that Harador saw few entrepreneurs with their stall under the umbrella of PRIME, after which she learned in detail about PRIME and how it has helped entrepreneurs succeed in their business. Therefore, in the same year she enrolled herself in the Pre – Incubation batch 3.

Through the PRIME’s Pre-Incubation program, she learned more about upscaling her business and ultimately launched the ‘Plant Parenthood’ initiative.
