The boundary of Meghalaya shown on the map of India is as interpreted from North-eastern areas (Reorganisation Act. 1971), but has yet to be verified (applicable to India map only). The territorial waters of India extend onto the sea to a distance of twelve nautical miles measured from the appropriate base line (applicable to India map only). © Government of India Copyright 2000. FORWARD "Regional Division of lndia- A Cartographic Analysis" of each state and Union Terri tory Volume, 1991 is undertaken by the Map Division of this office. The project is in con tinuation of a similar" Occasional Paper" published during the 1981 Census. In this study, regions arc delineated at macro, meso, mico and sub-micro level in each state/union terri tory .. While delineating such regions, the physio-geographic factors are taken into account. These physiographic factors consist of (1) Physiography ; (II) Geological structure; (Ill) Forest coverage; (IV) Climatic conditions and (V) Soils. The sub-micro regions delineated within the district keeping in view the above physio-geographic factors. The regional bounda ries delineated earlier at different-levels are retained as such. However, the jurisdictional changes at the district level during 1981-91 were added in the respective regions. A few more tables and maps on educational level of primary and secondary schools and availabil ity of medical facilities at the village, hav\t been appended in this volume. This publication consists of three parts. yartl contains the brief introductory note on Regional Divisions of India along with a map of India showing the regional boundaries at micro level. This part is common for all the State and Union territory Volume. Part II deals with the description of Regional DivisioJls of each State and Union territory. In this section, there are 13 nlat1S related to diffcrenJ themes e.g. density, sex ratio, growth of population, workers, literacy and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. These maps are prepared at the sub-micro levels. Part III is mainly devuted tu presentation of data and maps of the districts. The districts arc divided into sub-micro regions of the fourth order and brief analy sis of each of these sub-micro regions is written and supported by tables relating to the main demographic theme of the districts. This project is executed under the technical supervision of Dr. R.P.Singh, Assistant Registrar General (Map) and other officers and staff of the Map Division of this office and Directorate of Census Operations of Manipur. The officers and the staff associated with this project are acknowledged separately. An effort is made to publish this volume on Compact Discs also for the convenience of the users. 1 hope this publication will be useful for admin istrators, geographers, demographers and others interested in different fields of popUlation study ..

To delineate a region in a country like India with an area of 3287,263 KrT'f, extending between latitudes of 80 4' 28" and 370 17' 53" North and longitudes of 680 7' 53" and 970 24' 47" East and having a great range of geographic variations is a gigantic task. In the changed scenario of planning where emphasis tS being laid on grassroot level planning, the delineation of sub-micro region having village as unit, is significant. For carving out such natural regions, the following considerations, inter-alia, are to be kept in view: (i) Contiguous geographical area; (ii) Homogeneous qdministrative machinery capable of formulating and implementing integrated area plans; (iii) Reliable statistical data base; (iv) Existence of nodal regions; and (v) Amenability of the natural boundaries' to marginal adjustments so that the former, by and large, conform to administrative boundaries at given points of time. In India, district is a defined administrative unit which is planning unit also. The district boundaries do coincide with regional boundaries and have reliable statistical data base. Hence, district has been taken as a basic unit of delineation. A number of scholars have delineated the natural regions of the country which was mainly based on physical factors. Accordingly they divided the country into traditional regions of mountains, plateaus and plains. In Census of India, A. Mitra and I~te P. Sengupta attempted the regionalisation of the country taking into consideration district as basic unit of data presentation but they have not taken into consideration the intra-district variations. Hence this study was undertaken during 1981 to delineate sub-micro region in each district based on physio-geographical characteristics. While delineating the sub-micro region, village was taken as a basic unit of demarcation.
