District Disaster Management Authority, Khliehriat Page 1 District Disaster Management Authority, Khliehriat Foreword India has always been in the map for all sorts of Disasters and all the North Eastern States of India are vulnerable to Multi-disasters. The whole region of the North Eastern States lies in the seismic Zone V which is the highest category of Earthquake making it most vulnerable to Disasters. In view of the high incident of natural disasters in the recent past, the Government of India in collaboration and support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has initiated a major Programme called the “Disaster Risk Management Programme” with the objective to reduce loss of life and property in case of any eventualities and to restrict Socio-Economic damage by strengthening community at the grass root level, local self government and the District Administration preparedness, response and mitigation measures in some of the most vulnerable and affected areas. On the 23rd December 2005, The Government of India took a defining step by piloting the enactment of the Disaster Management Act 2005, which envisaged the creation of the NDMA headed by the Prime Minister of India, SDMAs headed by the CMs and DDMAs headed by the DCs and Co-Chaired by the elective represenatatives of local authorities to spearhead and implement a holistic and integrated approach to Disaster Management.The District Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan, includes the facts and figures that have been collected from various formal and informal sources with a view to meeting the challenges during any Natural Disaster. The Plan needs to improve and requires the full cooperation of all the Line Departments, all stakeholders and other institutions to furnish data and suggestions for improving, modifications and updating the Plan from time to time. All are cordially invited for their kind suggestion to be incorporated in the plan.

    Study on Areas Affected by Mining in Meghalaya by NEHU-MBMA

    Technical Report of Project entitled Study on Mining Affected Areas and its Impact on Livelihood Meghalaya- Community Led Landscape Management Project Meghalaya Basin Management Agency Shillong 2019 Prof. O. P. Singh Principal Investigator/Consultant Department of Environmental Studies North-Eastern Hill University Shillong- 793022 Meghalaya Project Number: P 157836 Contract Number: MBMA/CLLMP/PP/Mining/46/2017 Preface The indiscriminate and unscientific mining and absence of post mining treatment and management of mined areas have made the fragile ecosystems of Meghalaya more vulnerable to environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. As a consequence, the natural resources such as soil, water, forest and forest products, biodiversity etc. have been severely affected both in terms of their quality and quantity in the mining areas of the state. The traditional livelihood options linked to these resources have also been found affected. The information on effects of coal, limestone, sand mining etc. on land, water, forest resources and the community are fragmentary and thus needed consolidation with recent data. The meagre information available on the effect of mining on human health, natural resources with special emphasis on soil, water and biodiversity, livelihood of the people with particular reference to agriculture including horticulture, livestock, aquaculture and fishery are scattered, hence needed compilation. Such information is essential to strengthen the community led natural resource management practices in order to facilitate community led planning coupled with technical inputs and funding broadly in the areas of forest, water and soil in Meghalaya. Hence, the need was felt to compile available information in order to identify the drivers of degradation and also for promoting activities towards conservation of forest, soil and water resources with reference to sustainable livelihood.
  • A Sociological View on Dong of Biate Society

    A Sociological View on Dong of Biate Society

    A Sociological View on Dong of Biate Society Timothy L. Singson* and A.K.Nongkynrih** Abstract Social scientists in India have been writing on family or households in India. However, the same cannot be said in the context of North-East India. This paper focuses on households in tribal communities and focuses on the households of the Biate tribe, known as dong, its meanings and role. Both primary and secondary data was used in the paper. It can be said that dong is a physical and social entity. As a social entity it can be called a patriarchal household, an inclusive unit, a socialising unit, a corporate, property-owning group, and also a place of decision-making concerning the life-cycle of members. Introduction In social science research, family or household in India has received substantive focus and attention. However, writings on family or household in tribal societies of India have been limited. In this paper, the household as a concept is used and applied in the discussion and the empirical observation was drawn from a tribal society called Biate. On the issue of selecting household as the concept, one would agree with the statement in the Dictionary of Sociology, ‘For many purposes of sociological analysis this is a term preferable to the more widely used family’ (Abercrombie et al 1984: 201). The reason for selecting household as a working definition was to take into cognizance the variations of composition of members in households. In the context of Biate society, the place where one lives or resides is referred to as dong, and dong can be equated to household.

S.S MOOSHAHARMOOSHAHARY February 09, 2009 GOVERNOR MESSAGE I congratulate the Directorate of Economics and Statistics of the Government of Meghalaya for bringing out the first Human Development Report of our state. The goal of governance in a welfare state is enhancement of human well-being which can be quantified by analizing the ground level indicators of development and that is what this report is about. The report portrays Meghalaya rather in a poor light in the area of human development among the states in India. What is worrisome is that over the years, in a rising growth graph in the country, the ranking of Meghalaya in the human development parameters is sliding down. It is time for the Government to reflect on this and initiate appropriate measures to achieve higher targets in development management. The report has suggested number of measures in the form of recommendations for ensuring quality governance and empowering the people towards attaining higher quality of life.
