Every time journalists ask me what I have learnt after becoming a Union Minister and I say: time-management, the youngest Minister in the UPA Government said confidently.
Dressed in a golden coloured Khasi traditional outfit and jewellery, the petite Minister said during a felicitation programme held in her honour: “I used to spend hours deciding on the right kind of outfit to wear before stepping out of the house. It was a wastage of time.”
Agatha said as a Union Minister of State for Rural Development she has immense workload and, therefore, wants to spend her time constructively.
“I no longer waste time in deciding what kind of outfit I should wear and that is one of the aspects of my time management efforts,” she said proudly with her father PA Sangma, brothers James and Conrad keenly lending ears together with a rapt audience at the State Central Library on Saturday.
She added that Before becoming a Union Minister and pledging to serve a nation of billion people, she was invisible.
“I was able to do many things the way I wanted to but not anymore,” she grimaced.
Agatha turned 29 this month and holds Masters Degree in Environmental Management and Diploma in Law and is a keen photographer.
She is one of the two daughters of Purno A Sangma. Agatha retained the Tura Lok Sabha seat on a NCP ticket this year.
Her father, an avid fan of murder mystery novels, named his two daughters Agatha and Christie after the famous authoress.
