"We want to ensure that Meghalaya wants to achieve zero Below Poverty Line (BPL) family in 10 years," Mukul told reporters.
He said, "To achieve this, a number of initiatives requiring huge funds from Planning Commission and Centre have been designed."
Chief minister sounded optimistic about getting additional funding based on its objectives from the Centre.
While Planning Commission approves the plan size of each state according to the available resources, Mukul said, "The state government will go beyond the actual plan size to achieve the target."
