Meghalaya’s Rebecca Suchiang becomes first indigenous woman Chief Secretary

Shillong: Living up to its name of a state known for its matrilineal society, Meghalaya on Thursday witnessed Rebecca Suchiang, the first Khasi-Jaintia woman, take over as the state Chief Secretary.

Suchiang is also the second woman chief secretary after PP Trivedi, who was the CS in the late 80s.

Retiring from his post, MS Rao handed over his responsibilities in the presence of the bureaucrats from various departments. Rao took charge on December 31, 2019, and retired on September 30, 2021.
