  • Brief Industrial Profile of East Garo Hills District
    Brief Industrial Profile Of East Garo Hills District Brief Industrial Profile of East Garo Hills District. 1. General Characteristics of the District East Garo Hills district of Meghalaya was created by bifurcating erstwhile Garo Hills district on 27 th October 1976.. The district headquarter of East Garo Hills is Williamnagar named after Captain Williamson A. Sangma, the first chief minister of Meghalaya. The East Garo Hills region forms a sort of undulating plateau with plenty of flat lands and valleys with altitudes varying from 100-1400 m above sea level. The population of East Garo Hills district consists of two major groups - tribal & non- tribal. The tribal population of the district amounts to 96.54 % of the total population. The majority of the tribal population are the Garos, while the other indigenous inhabitants are the Hajongs, Rabhas, Koches, Rajbansis, Kacharis and Dalus. The small non-tribal population, including the Scheduled Castes is mostly concentrated in the urban settlements of Williamnagar and Resubelpara and the northern plain fringes of the district. The distribution of population in the district is uneven and is mostly governed by topography. The population of the district is mainly concentrated on the northern fringe plain area. Since the economy of the district is primarily agricultural, the topography and soil type have a great influence on the population distribution. Also the uneven topography which also influences factors such as accessibility to the areas, causes the low density of population in the interiors of the district. The climate of the district is largely controlled by South-West monsoon and seasonal winds.
