  • ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR for LOWER PRIMARY LEVEL Govt of Meghalaya 2020-21
    ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR FOR LOWER PRIMARY LEVEL Govt of Meghalaya 2020-21 Directorate of Educational Research and Training (DERT), Education Department ADJUSTED ACADEMIC CALENDAR FOR THE LOWER PRIMARY STAGE CLASSES 1 - 5 Directorate of Educational Research and Training Arbuthnot Road, Nongrimmaw, Laitumkhrah, Shillong, Meghalaya 793011 i Foreword The State of Meghalaya has been facing tremendous challenges due to the nationwide lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in the closure of all educational institutions. This has led to learning losses among learners especially in the rural pockets of the State. As a result, the Education Department has given utmost priority to the two most vulnerable age groups namely, children at elementary level, where learning loss can limit educational progress most and learners transitioning from upper primary to secondary education. To ensure continuous and minimum levels learning, the Directorate of Educational research & Training (DERT) developed the Adjusted Academic Calendar (AAC) for Classes I – V in close consultation with schoolteachers. The rationalised Academic Calendar is to be implemented in all MBOSE affiliated schools of Meghalaya for the session 2020-21. The AAC has been worked out around the Learning Outcomes (LOs) developed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), New Delhi in 2017 and coded by the DERT in 2020. It is to be noted that the Learning Outcomes are now mandatory in the teaching- learning process in all schools with the amendment of the Meghalaya RTE Act 2009 State Rules of the State and notification No.EDN/RTE- 196/2012/182 dt. August 3, 2020. Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) comprising of schoolteachers from 20 schools drawn from different districts of the state were involved in the mapping of the Learning Outcomes in different subjects areas for classes 1 to 8 with a focus on foundational literacy and numeracy.

  • Earthquake Resistant Characteristics of Traditional Khasi Houses in Shillong, India
    Eco-Architecture II 159 Earthquake resistant characteristics of traditional Khasi houses in Shillong, India B. I. O. Dahunsi & A. K. Mittal Structural Engineering Division, Central Building Research Institute, India Abstract Shillong, the capital of the state of Meghalaya, is located in the highest risk zone (V) of earthquake vulnerability in India. The area has witnessed several earthquakes including the one that occurred in 1897 during which most of the town was destroyed. Some of the buildings that survived the earthquake included some traditional Khasi houses. The earthquake resistant features of such traditional buildings were studied. Basically, the traditional Khasi houses are built on raised platforms. The roofs are of thatch while the walls may be from materials such as stone masonry with lime mortars, lime rendered mud walls or thatch depending on prevailing weather conditions. Mud and stone walls are common in areas with heavy rainfalls. The structural system consists mainly of post and beam timber frames having pillars buried into the ground. The floor is supported at intervals by limestone or wooden pillars. Some of the characteristics of the traditional Khasi houses in Shillong that are in conformity with modern building code requirements include the fact that they are not usually built on hill tops and they have symmetrical oval shapes which are devoid of sharp corners, thereby avoiding stress concentrations which is a major source of failure at wall corners during earthquakes. Nails are not used in the constructions, and the grooves and tongues that are utilized allow for dissipation of seismic loads. The roofs are made of light materials so that fatalities from failed roofs are limited.

  • Urban Development
    MMEGHALAYAEGHALAYA SSTATETATE DEVELOPMENTDEVELOPMENT RREPORTEPORT CHAPTER VIII URBAN DEVELOPMENT 8.1. Introducti on Urbanizati on in Meghalaya has maintained a steady growth. As per 2001 Census, the state has only 19.58% urban populati on, which is much lower than the nati onal average of 28%. Majority of people of the State conti nue to live in the rural areas and the same has also been highlighted in the previous chapter. As the urban scenario is a refl ecti on of the level of industrializati on, commercializati on, increase in producti vity, employment generati on, other infrastructure development of any state, this clearly refl ects that the economic development in the state as a whole has been rather poor. Though urbanizati on poses many challenges to the city dwellers and administrators, there is no denying the fact that the process of urbanizati on not only brings economic prosperity but also sets the way for a bett er quality of life. Urban areas are the nerve centres of growth and development and are important to their regions in more than one way. The current secti on presents an overview of the urban scenario of the state. 88.2..2. UUrbanrban sseett llementement andand iitsts ggrowthrowth iinn tthehe sstatetate Presently the State has 16 (sixteen) urban centres, predominant being the Shillong Urban Agglomerati on (UA). The Shillong Urban Agglomerati on comprises of 7(seven) towns viz.
