It has been the tradition of Indian Census to present Census data for rural and urban areas separately. In fact, in all the Censuses throughout the world this classification of Census data into rural and urban areas is generally recog nized and the data is presented accordingly. The basic unit for rural areas is the revenue village, which has definite surveyed boundaries. But for non-revenue villages or un-surveyed villages as in the case of Meghalaya, each habita tion area with locally recognized boundaries is treated as one unit. The village may comprise several hamlets but the entire village is taken as one .. unit for presentation of data. In forest areas each habitation area within each forest officer's beat is treated as one unit.
Urban areas are specially defined for Census purposes.
These are: (a) All places with a municipal corporation or cantonment board or notified town area. (b) All other places which satisfy the following criteria: i) A minimum population of 5000.
14 ~ At least 75% ofthe male working population is engaged in non-agricultural (and allied) activities. iI) A population density of at least 400 per Sq. Km. (or One ThQusand per Sq. Mile)
An "Urban Agglomeration" is defined,as a continuous spread constituting a town and its adjoining urban outgrowths or two or more physically contiguous towns together with continuous well-recognized urban outgrowth if any. The following are the possible different situations in which urban agglomerations could be constituted. (ii) A city or t9wn with a continuous outgrowth (the part of growth being outside the statutory limits) but falling within the boundaries ofthe adjoining village or villages. (iii) Two or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths as in (i) above. (iv) A city and one or more adjoining towns with their outgrowths all of which form a continuous .' spread.
A town having a population of 100,000 above is called a city. Shillong Municipality in its own right since 1981 is the only city in Meghalaya having a population of 132876 in 2001.
There are altogether 12 towns in Meghalaya in 1991 Census. With the up-gradation of 4 new areas as towns in 2001, their totals come to 16. The four new towns in 2001 are (1) Nongpoh, (2) Resubelpara, (3) Mairang and (4) Nongmynsong, out ofwhich only Nongmynsong is a new constituent unit of the Shillong Urban Agglomeration.
As will be seen from the Table, the State of Meghalaya is having a population of2306069 persons, of which ~526121ive in urban areas and 1853457 in rural. The total male and female population in the state is 1167840 and 1138229 respectively. As far as the districts population is concerned, East Khasi Hills district is having the largest population in the state with 660994 persons. Next followed by West Garo Hills with 515813.
In columns 7, 8, 9 of the table is shown the child population in the age group 0-6. The total number of child population 0-6 in the state is 457442, of which 231571 is Males and 225871 is females. The rural/ urban brea}mp of child population in the state shows that 392305 are in rural and 65137 in urban areas. Sex wise break up shows that the male child population is 198408 in rural and 33163 in urban and the female child popUlation is 193897 and 31974 respectively. Seeing the child population 0-6 among differ ent towns of the State, the highest population is found within the Shillong Urban Agglomeration. It has 32874 persons with 16556 males and 16318 females. East Khasi Hills district is having the highest number of child population in urban as well as in rural.
Looking at the literates in Column 10, 11, 12 of the table, the number ofliterates in the state stood'at 1170443 of which 619274 are males and 551169 are females. In rural the numbers ofliterates are 832884 of which 444076 are males and only 388808 are females. In urban, their number are 337559 of which 175198 are males literates and 162361 are females.

Since 1991 Census all children below 7 years of age have been treated as illiterates.

Table 3 presents the percentage decadal growth rate 1991-2001 in Column 6 and the percentage of chi}d population in the age group 0-6 in Column 7, 8 and 9, and the percentage of urban population to total population in Column 10 for the State and districts ofMeghalaya.
21 From the table, it is noticed that the rate of growth of the state population ofMeghalaya during the decades 2001 is ol).ly 29.94 percent~ whiRh is .l~~s Qy.nearly 3}?ercent from t,he last dycade, which was at 32.86 percent. In ruraFthe growth rate is 28.29 perc~.nt attdin urban it is 37.14 percent. The highest growth rate among the districts of the state is Ri Bhoi at 5,1.44 perc~n! wi!h 41.09 percent in rural and 100 percent in urban. This is followed. by J aintia Hills and West Khasi Hills with their growth of 34.12 percent and 33.55"perce,nt respecJively. However, East Khasi Hills district, which is having the largest number of population among· all the districts of the state, is having the lowest growth rate with 22.88 percent of which 24.86 percenii~i"in rural and 2'0.26 percent in urban.
The rate o"f .growth of the urban population in East Garo Hills, West Khasi Hills and Ri Bhoi is 100 percent and mor~. This is because of creation of new towns after the 1991 Census as mentioned earlier.
It is further noticed that the rates of growth of urban population are higher than those of the rural population in all the districts except in West Garo Hills, East Khasi Hills-and Jaintia Hills.
Looking at Column 10 ofthe Table, we (ind that the percentage ofurban population to total popu lation ofthe state'is 19.63 percent. The highest perc;entage of urban population is in East Khasi Hills with 42.05 followed by East Garo Hills with 14.50 percent, West Khasi Hills with 11.40 percent, West Garo Hills with -11.32 percent"South Garo Hills with.3.72 percent and Jaintia Hills with 8.46 percent. Ri Bhoi ,-. district is having tOY lowest urbanyopulation with only 6.83 per~ent.,
From Column 7, 8 and 9~of the table it 'is seen that there is a little difference between male and female child population in the State as well as in the rural and urban area. In'the state the child population 0-6 is 19.84 perc,ent,.The.male and female child,population of the state is almost similar with 19.83 per cent and 19.84 percent respectively. In rural areas, the male chi.Jd popUlation is at 21.11 percent and ;":'" ,..-" l' female at 21.22 percent. Whereas in urban areas, the male child popUlation is "14.54 percent and female is at 14.24 percent.

Looking at the sex ratio of the child population, it is found that the number of females are more in the rural. In the 1991 Census, for the total population including child population, the number of females per 1000 males was only 955. So during the decade there is an improvement of the sex ratio when it has reached to 975. At the district level, West Garo Hills has 988 number of females per 1000 males, followed by East ~ \ Khasi Hills with 983, Jaintia Hills 979, West Khasi Hills 972, East Garo Hills 960, South Garo Hills and Ri Bhoi 941. Looking at the Table) it is seen that in all the four districts ofKhasis and J aintia region, the sex ratio in urban is more than in ,rural. But we find that in all the three districts ofthe Garo region, the sex ratio is more in rural than in urban. _,. Coming to the sex ratio at the C.D. Block level in each district, Rongram C.D. Block has 1213 females per 1000 males of which 1124 is in rural and only 956 in urban. It is seen that the sex ratio of this C.D. Block is the highest among all C.D. Blocks in the State. _Mawphlang, Mawryngkneng, MaWkynrew, .....'t ~ Pynursla of East Khasi Hills district and Laskein C.D. Blocks of J aintia Hi1~s district has also crossed the 1000 marks of the sex ratio. Less number of females is found in Baghmara C.D.

From 1901 - 1921 there was only one town in the state without any outgrowth and Urban Agglomeration. In 1931 an Urban Agglomeration was formed in the state capital with Shillong Municipality and Shillong Cantonment as c.onstituent units. Two more towns namely Nongthymmai and Mawlai were added in 1961 and expanded the ,area of the Shillong Urban Agglomeration. In 1981, besides the existing four constituents units another two more Census towns known as Pynthorumkhrah and Madanrting were added to the Shillong Urban. 42 Agglomeration and the total number of the constituent units ofShillong U.A. increased to 6 in number. There is no new town in 1991. In 2001 a new Census town named Nongmynsong has come up and it formed a new constituent units of Shillong U .A. hringing altogether 7 towns within its juris4iction., So since 1931 1951, there is only Shillong U.A. without independent town. It is noticed that only from 1961 onwards that new independent towns started coming up. The independent towns that appeared in both 1961 and 1971 are Tura and Jowai. With the creation of new districts in the state after the 1971 Census, new towns such as Nongstoin, Williamnagar, Baghmara and Cherrapunjee came up. In 2001, again with the creation of two more new districts, three new independent towns namely Nongpoh, Mairang and Resubelpara were formed in the state. Nongmynsong is another new Census town in 2001and is a constituent unit ofShillong U.A. Looking at the statement above, the total urban population in the state has increased from 9621 in 1901 to 452612 in 2001 and the perceptage of urban population from 2.83 in 1901 to 19.63 in 2001. It is observed that there is slight decrease in the percentage ofurbap population in 1971 as compared to 1961. In 1961, the percentage of urban population was 15.27 percent whereas in 1971 it was only 14.55. But again from 1981 till 2001 the increasing trend in the percentage of urban population is noticed in the state. Regarding the decennial growth rate of the urban popalation, it is found that the year 1961 is having the highest growth rate of 100.78 percent. This is because of the fact that two new independent towns viz. Tura and Jowai were notified in the two newly formed districts. It is observed that the Annual exponential rate trend in the urban areas is not uniform. In 1911 the annual exponential growth rate was 3.49 which falls down to 2.32 in 1921, again it goes up to 4.33 in 1931 and comes down to 3.64 in 1941. The annual exponential growth rate is seen to decline to 2.25 percent in 1971 and to rise to 4.85 in 1981. A very negligible variatian in the annual exponential growth rate of urban population is observed in 2001 as compared to 1991. 43 MAPS, CHARTS AND DIAGRAMS • All the maps included in this publication are based upon Survey of India map with the permission of the Surveyor General ofIndia. • The interstate boundaries shown between Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya are as interpreted from the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971 yet to be verified. • © Government of India copyright, 2001. \. o ..I z I I I I ~ I ~ I I I I I I I ~ I/) W , II: I;jo ..J ::0- ." o~ .. g :;c 0 ~i~ci~~ II: CIl o~i!'\i!ci '" z _ I/) C U ~ aen J (. ) w J '"N ~ oci ....J c N :E W ~ C ~ t2~ W ~ w I-~ W t!:! s « (/) 0 ~ _J L5 ~ (/) w 0::: ( ) c( / Z / v T""' M I' r (f) _J - _J I *'~ .J ~ ..- Z N I .....,« -- w ~ c r-..: C") L.U C) w rf (f) ~ tI) US L.U et: I- U ~ ~ ~ (I) (f) _J Z L.U « C> (I) W 0 C> CD z 0 0z « « 0 ~ 0 ..J ~ c:i 0 0 Z 0 0 0 W ~ C") C") U et: W 0.... 0 c( z r I : i I : \ I : I i I \ \,_ . } ') - ..t.. .-.._.-..J ...o M .J CJ) W C ~ z ~ 0 w ~ :J ~ill ~ ~ ill W I-- ~ « Z 0 ...J ~ 0 ~ W 0:: F (/) m ~ <:) :J :5 0 0 z z C> z ~ 2 « ~ « ill 0 0 ....I 0 C> <:) .I ,- J" ......
