Annual Report North-Eastern Hill University Shillong Thirty-Ninth Annual Report 2012 – 2013 From the Vice-Chancellor’s Desk A prominent event during the year was the Twentieth Convocation held on the 6th November ’12 where Shri Vinod Rai, Comptroller and Auditor General of India was the Chief Guest. The research performance of individual members of the faculty can be glimpsed from their publications during the course of the year.

  • Government of Meghalaya Addendum to the MEMORANDUM
    Government of Meghalaya Addendum to the MEMORANDUM Submitted to the Thirteenth Finance Commission FINANCE DEPARTMENT 0 5. Up-gradation of Administration and Special Problems of Meghalaya 5.1. Introduction With a view to removing the inter-regional imbalances and disparities in provision of services by the States, it is important that the requisite funds are made available to enable them to provide for a reasonable standard of social, economic and administrative services to their subjects. In this context, the Finance Commission is empowered constitutionally to help the States in this regard by recommending grants- in-aid from the revenue in the Consolidated Fund of India. Various Finance Commissions have, in the past, recommended under Article 275 grants-in-aid to the States for a variety of purposes irrespective of the Terms of Reference for the granting of such aid. The Seventh Finance Commission, in this regard, laid down the following principles: Grants-in-aid may be given to narrow down disparities in the available administrative and social services between the developed and the backward States. Such grants are called up-gradation grants; and Grants-in-aid may be given to individual States to enable them to mitigate special problems on account of their peculiar circumstances or for matters of national importance, the financial burden of which the State finances may not be able to sustain. Such grants are special problem grants. Although, it was not specifically mentioned in the Terms of Reference, some of the earlier Finance Commissions did recommend grants-in-aid under Article 275, for the up-gradation of standards of administration and for the special problems of the States in one form or the other.

In 1947, the country commenced its long march to overcome the colonial legacy of economic underdevelopment, gross poverty, near-total illiteracy, wide prevalence of diseases, and stark social inequality and injustice. Achieving independence was only the first stop, the first break—the end of colonial political control: centuries of backwardness was now to be overcome, the promises of the freedom struggle to be fulfilled, and people‘s hopes to be met. The task of nation-building was taken up by the people and leaders with a certain elan and determination and with confidence in their capacity to succeed. When Nehru assumed office as the first Prime Minister of India, there were a myriad of issues lying in front of him, vying for his attention. Nehru knew that it was highly important that he prioritized things. For him, ―First things must come first and the first thing is the security and stability of India.‖ In the words of eminent political scientist W.H Morris- Jones, the imminent task was to ―hold things together, to ensure survival, to get accustomed to the feel of being in the water, to see to it that the vessels keep afloat‖.
