He said that the concept of the Chemistry Olympiad is very innovative, to catch the young minds of the children for a bright future. “I am excited and thank USTM and Chancellor M Hoque for his decision to expandthis program all across the North East”, he added.

The Meghalaya Chemistry Olympiad is a flagship program of the Chemistry department of USTM. The MCO-23 examination was held on 1st November 2023 in three different centers namely USTM, Shillong College and Don Bosco College, Tura. Around 456 participants across the state of Meghalaya appeared in the examination in three different standards. Students of classes VIII, IX, and XI of various schools in Meghalaya participated.

The 1st prize for class VIII went to Toteilakupar L Buhphang, Ramakrishna Mission HS School, Sohra, and Barisha Tiewmon, Synjuk Wahingdoh Secondary School. The 2nd prize towent Divarson Mairangthem from Ramakrishna Mission Higher Secondary School, Sohra and the 3rd prize went to Rinison Swer and Sujal Das, both from Ramakrishna Mission Higher Secondary School, Sohra.

Several other children got consolation prizes too.

The Meghalaya Chemistry Olympiad (MCO) is an annual competition held to hunt the state’s most talented students at the secondary and higher secondary school level. This was the first MCO eyeing the participants from schools in Meghalaya. Participants from other northeastern states will join the program subsequently.

The Chemistry Olympiads provide an encouragement to begin a career in science, particularly in chemistry, to undertake a lifelong journey into the realms of exciting intellectual challenges. The Olympiads are not merely a competition, but a meeting place of the brightest young minds of the state, and many friendships forged at the Olympiads form the seeds of scientific collaboration later in life. Like in the Olympics in sports, the Olympiads are a celebration of the very best in school-level science and chemistry.
