In 2012 East Garo Hills District was further reor- ganised to form a new district out of the erstwhile Resubelpara Sub-Division. The Dis- trict is bounded by South Garo Hills on the south, West Garo Hills on the west, West Khasi Hills on the east and North Garo Hills on the north. The headquarter-complex, Williamnagar is a neatly planned township, chris- tened after Captain Williamson A. Sangma, the first Chief Minister of the State of Megha- laya. Williamnagar now has all the amenities of a modern town and is the largest growth centre in Garo Hills, next to Tura. 1.1 Topography & Demography Topography Basic Topographical Facts Drainage Simsang Manda Damring As is evident from the name, the district of East Garo Hils is a hilly terrain. The hills are highly dissected and one major formation is the Arbella Range, which is cuts through the south-central part of the district. The range consists of peaks with an aver- age height of 700 metres above sea level. Another important physiographic feature is the Simsang Valley which runs through the southern part of the district. The River Sim- sang is the longest river in Garo Hills, which originates in West Garo Hills and flows through East Garo Hills and thence to South Garo Hills. The topography of the rest of the district is of undulating low hills, with altitude ranging from 150 to 600 metres above sea level. Besides the Simsang, the district is also drained by the rivers Manda & Damring, which have their sources within the district. Other than the Simsang which drains southeast wards, the others all runs north or northwest towards the Brahmapu- tra. 4 DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF EAST GARO HILLS DISTRICT FOR SAND MINING 2019 1.2 River System & Water Resources The district is mainly drained by perennial & non-perennial streams and the drainage system of the district comprises of the following: 1. The Simsang & its tributaries: The Simsang flows in from the neighbouring district of West Garo Hills, where its source is, it flows eastwards and then southwards within East Garo Hills and then flows out to neighbouring South Garo Hills, and thence to Bangla- desh. The Simsang and its tributaries drains more than 50% of the district. 2. The Damring & its tributaries: The Damring has its source in East Garo Hills and it flows northwards to neighbouring North Garo Hills, and then to Assam and drains to the Brahmaputra. 3. The Manda & its tributaries: The Manda has its source in East Garo Hills and it flows northwards to neighbouring North Garo Hills, and then to Assam and drains to the Brahmaputra. 1.3 Seismicity Seismically, East Garo Hills district lies in Zone V. Nearly all of the state of Me- ghalaya, lies on the "Shillong Massif". This is a block-like structure that has not under- gone much folding or faulting as compared to the surrounding areas. The main threats to the state come from faults bounding the massif with the surrounding areas. The northern part of the massif has several faults, among the newly identified Oldham Fault that is believed responsible for the 1897 earthquake. The southern boundary is marked by the east-west trending Dawki Fault, along the Bangladesh border. Moderate earth- quakes have occurred in this state but the most significant of all was the Great Assam earthquake of 1897. Centred across the state border in Assam, much of Meghalaya was severely jolted. The Largest Instrumented Earthquake in Meghalaya was on 7 April 1951 - 6.8 (TS) 20:29:12.40 UTC, 25.80N, 90.40E near Rongrenggre, which is a suburb of Williamna- gar, the district headquarters of East Garo Hills. 1.4 Demography Basic Facts Total Population 1,45,798 5 DISTRICT SURVEY REPORT OF EAST GARO HILLS DISTRICT FOR SAND MINING 2019 Population Density 96.11 (population/sq. km.) Sex Ratio 961 (females/1000 males) 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 popula- tion. The majority of the tribal population are the Garos, while the other indigenous in- habitants are minority communities. The small non-tribal population, including the Scheduled Castes is mostly concentrated in the urban settlements of Williamnagar and semi-urban habitations like Rongjeng, Songsak & Rongsak. The distribution of popula- tion in the district is uneven and is mostly governed by topography. The population of the district is mainly concentrated in the flatter areas like Williamnagar and Rongjeng. 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. 1.5 Primary Census Abstract for East Garo Hills District (Census, 2011) Item Total Rural Urban Area (in sq.

Some of them are of historical importance; others are important because of their association with the cultural traditions of the Garo people and many of them again have deservedly earned fame for their scenic beauty. Much of the area still remain untouched, retaining almost intact the original flora and fauna which should have more of the attention of the scientists, or even the ordinary lover of Nature. Tourism. If properly developed, could be a potentially rich source of revenue to the district as well as to the State.

  • Brief Industrial Profile of West Garo Hills District
    Brief Industrial Profile Of West Garo Hills District Brief Industrial Profile of West Garo Hills District. 1. General Characteristics of the District : West Garo Hills is one of the largest district of Meghalaya located in the western part of the State. The Garo Hills district was divided into two districts, viz. the West Garo Hills district and the East Garo Hills district in October 1976. The erstwhile West Garo Hills district was further divided into two administrative districts of West and South Garo Hills on June 1992. The district headquarters of West Garo Hills is Tura, which is the second largest town in the State after Shillong. The population is pre-dominantly inhabited by the Garos, a tribe with a matrilineal society belonging to the Bodo family of the Tibeto-Burman race tribes. Other indigenous inhabitants are the Hajongs, Rabhas, Koches, Rajbansis, Meches, Kacharis and Dalus. The district is also inhabited by Bengalis, Assamese, Nepalese, Marwaries, Biharis and people from other parts of India The whole of 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, Nokrek being the highest point, i.e., 1418m. The district has a rich and unique flora and it is supposed to be the original home of the Citrus. The climate of the district is largely controlled by South-West monsoon and seasonal winds. The West Garo Hills district being relatively lower in altitude to the rest of Meghalaya, experiences a fairly high temperature for most part of the year.
