The Garo Hills region is divided into five districts, viz the West Garo Hills district, the East Garo Hills district, the South Garo Hills district, the North Garo Hills district and the South West Garo Hills district. The district headquarters of West Garo Hills is Tura, which is the second largest town in the State after Shillong. The West Garo Hills district lies on the western part of the state of Meghalaya bounded by the East Garo Hills district on the east, the South Garo Hills district on the south-east, the North Garo Hills district on the north and South West Garo Hills district on the west and Bangladesh on the south. The total geographical area of the district is 2855 Sq. Km. The district is situated approximately between the latitudes 90° 30' and 89° 40' E, and the longitudes of 26° and 25° 20' N. West Garo Hills district is pre-dominantly inhabited by the Garos, a tribe with a matrilineal society belonging to the Bodo family of the Tibeto-Burman race. Other indigenous inhabitants are the Hajongs, Rabhas, Koches, Rajbangsis, Meches, Kacharis and Dalus. The district is also inhabited by Bengalis, Assamese, Nepalese, Marwaries, Biharis and people from other parts of India. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The early history of the Garos is shrouded in mystery. The forefathers of the Garos allied to Koches, Chutiyas, Kacharis and Meches came from the north-west. Another tradition ascribing some support to this theory, maintains that the Garos are descended from their forefathers in Asong Tibetgori. The Garos in the Kamrup plain, recount a tradition that their forefathers came eastward from the Himalayas and reached Gondulghat where they made a brief halt, and on leaving that place, traversed to Sadiya, from where they trekked on into the north bank of Brahmaputra. After a long westward trail, they reached Amingaon. There in the north bank their life was not secure, they crossed the Bahmaputra river and came to occupy Kamakhya. They occupied it for some generations until the Koches came to invade the Garo Kingdom. From Gauhati, wave after wave of westward migration poured to the Garo outer hills, and later on penetrated the interior hills of their present abode. Probably who those crossed the hills and advanced further south to Mymensing in Bangladesh were the earliest immigrants whereas those who came later on, now confined into their present settlement at Goalpara and Kamrup, belonged to the later immigrants. If critically examined, the ancient history of Garos would seem to have been a period marked by persistent and tenacious internal warfare and many blood-feuds seem to have occurred between families or villages and between neighbouring Chiefs or Nokmas. Medieval Period With the passage of time in the medieval period, while the Garos in the hills were still divided into a number of petty Nokmaships, the plain tracts along the fringes at the foot of the hills came to be included in the many Zamindari Estates, which eventually developed into fewer but larger complexes. During the medieval era and the Mughal period, the more important estates bordering the Garo Hills were Karaibari, Kalimalupara, Mechpara and Habraghat in Rongpur district, Susang and Sherput in 4 Mymensing district of Bengal and Bijini in the Eastern Duars.Early records describe the Garos as being in a state of intermittent conflict with Zamindars of these large estates. Modern Period The contact between the British and the Garos started towards the close of the 18th Century after the British East India Company had secured the Diwani of Bengal from the Mughal Emperor. Consequently, all the estates bordering upon Garo Hills, which for all practical purposes had been semi-independent were brought under the control of the British. Though political control had passed from the Mughals to the British, the latter, like Mughals, had no desire to control the Estates or their tributaries directly. The Zamindars were not disturbed in the internal management of their estates. In fact, they were entrusted, as they had been by the Mughals, with the responsibility of keeping the hill Garos in check with help of their retainers. Thus, in the beginning, the intermittent conflict between the Zamindars and the Garos went on unabated until the situation deteriorated to the extent that the British were forced to take notice. This development led ultimately to the annexation of the Garo Hills in 1873. Captain Williamson was the first Deputy Commissioner of the unified district. The district was bifurcated into two districts viz; East Garo Hills and West Garo Hills districts in October 1979. The District is administered with two sub- Division i.e. Dadenggre Civil Sub-Division & Tikrikilla Civil Sub-Division. The District comprises of 7 (Seven) Community and Rural Development (C&RD) Blocks. They are: Rongram C & R. D. Block,Dadenggre C & R. D. Block, Dalu C & R. D. Block, Selsella C & R. D. Block,Tikrikilla C & R. D. Block, Gambegre C & R. D. Block, Demdemma C & R. D. Block. The population of the District is 4, 70,796 as per the Census 2011, includes 2, 37,024 males and 2,33,772 females. The density of population is 175 persons/sq.km. The average literacy % of this district is 91% (As per 2011 census). The Tura range form watersheds in the West Garo Hills district, from which the rivers flows towards Bangladesh plains in the south and the Brahmaputra valley in the north and the west. The important rivers of the north group are the Kalu, Ringgi and the Didak. The important rivers of the southern group are the Bhogai, Dareng etc. The Tura range is also the source of the Simsang (Someswari), one of the major rivers of Meghalaya, whose valley is of the most important feature in the South Garo Hills. The longest river in Garo Hills is Jinjiram River. The District Survey Report has been prepared as per the guidelines mentioned in the “Appendix-X” of the notification No. S.O. 361(E) Dated New Delhi the 25th July, 2018 of Ministry of Environment, Forest& Climate Change. The main objective of the preparation of District Survey Report (As per the sustainable Sand Mining Guideline) is to ensure the identification of areas of aggradations or deposition where mining can be allowed; and identification of areas of erosion and proximity to infrastructural structures and installation where mining should be prohibited and calculation of annual rate of replenishment and allowing time for replenishment after mining in that area. The District Environment Impact Assessment Authority (DEIAA) and District Environment Assessment Committee (DEAC) will utilize the report in favour of the environmental clearance to concern activities in the District. Also this report will act as a reference for the Project Proponents willing to apply for lease of areas rich in sand. 5 MAP OF WEST GARO HILLS: 6 1. OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVIITIES Sand mining and other extraction activities in West Garo Hills District were mostly done from the rivers and streams available in the District. There are no sand mine or quarry available in the West Garo Hills District except the rivers and streams. The unscientific and indiscriminate mining, absence of post-mining treatment and management of mined areas are making the fragile ecosystems more vulnerable to environmental degradation hence leading to large scale land cover/land use changes. In Garo Hills mining causes massive damage to the landscapes and biological communities as a result, soil erosion, scarcity of water, pollution of air, water and soil reduced soil fertility and loss of biodiversity are some of the serious problems of the area. Most of the economic mineral resources of Garo Hills are associated with the Eocene Tertiary, Sedimentary formation. These minerals are Lithomargic clay, Fireclay, Phosphorite, Gypsum, Quartz and Glass sand. Lithomargic Clay and Fireclay: These clays are associated with the coal deposits of the West Daranggre coalfields.

Conserving large forest tracts and protected wildlife habitats provides an opportunity for restoring populations of wide-ranging wildlife such as tigers and elepha.TJts. Basedon limited fieldobservations coupled with focused group discussion with local villagers andsenior staffmembers of the wildlife wing ofthe State Forest Departmentof Megahlaya,we identified 20 localities in South GaroHills, which if protected andmanaged for tiger conservation, could help restore this fast disappearing species. An integrated multidisciplinary landscape scale approach to wildlife management, including designation of intact forest corridors among protected areas and reserved forests, would greatlycontribute to conservation of tigers andoverall biodiversity of this region. Keywords: tiger, population viability, landscape approach, conservation, corridors, core habitats Introduction Although the disappearance of tigers from The first ever scientific census of tiger some parks and reserves may be due, in part, to (Pantheratigris tigris) populations by the National poaching and other anthropogenic stressors, it is Tiger Conservation Authority (New Delhi) and still vital to defineand provide for their basic needs Wildlife Institute ofIndia (Dehradun) during 2007 for habitat and prey.

  • Aspects of Neolithic Agriculture and Shifting Cultivation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya
    Aspects of Neolithic Agriculture and Shifting Cultivation, Garo Hills, Meghalaya Received 22 August 1981 SANKAR KUMAR ROY ABSTRACT HE TRADITIONAL SHIFTING cultivation (or slash and burn) being practiced in T the Garo Hills has a prehistoric base. The hoe and axe continue as the princi­ pal tools, operated exclusively by human energy. We cannot say whether the people of the culture under study are the descendants of the neolithic population, but analogy between the material cultures of the past and present should not be ignored. Chronologically the culture under study is modern, but economically neolithic. There are differences in the raw material of the tools. Formerly they were made of stone, at present they are iron. Such a difference does not result in a major variation in the quantity of production between past and present. The hoe and axe have inher­ ent limitations in working capability. Such a technology, under the given ecological conditions, can support only 4 to 5 persons per square kilometer. Under the tradi­ tional agricultural system, intensification contributes little to improvement, as was the case during neolithic times as well. INTRODUCTION The discovery of neolithic artifacts from Garo Hills, Meghalaya (previously Assam) dates back more than a decade now. The work done so far has been primarily confined to the typological and technological aspects of these materials (Goswami and Bhagabati 1959a; 1959b; Goswami et a1. 1969; Sharma and Sharma 1968; Sharma and Singh 1968; Revised manuscript received 12 June 1984.

After reading this Unit, you would learn about: the emergence of regional states in Central and Eastern India, territorial expansion of these regional kingdoms, their relations with their neighbours and other regional states, and 1 their relations with the Delhi Sultanate. 23.4 INTRODUCTION You have already read (in Block 5, Unit 18) that regional kingdoms posed severe threat to the already weakened Delhi Sultanate and with their emergence began the process of the physical disintegration of the Sultanate. In this Unit, our focus would be on the emergence of regional states in Central and Eastern India viz., Malwa, Jaunpur, Bengal, Assam and Orissa. We will study the polity-establishment, expansion and disintegration-of the above kingdoms. You would know how they emerged and succeeded in establishing their hegemony. During the 13th-15th centuries in Central and Eastern India, there emerged two types of kingdoms: a) those whose rise and development was independent of the Sultanate (for example : the kingdoms of Assam and Orissa) and b) Bengal, Malwa and Jaunpur who owed tHeir existencr ru the Sultanate. All these kingdoms were constantlyat war with each other. The nobles, ci,' ;s or rajas and local aristocracy played crucial roles in these confrontations. 23.2 MALWA The decline of the Sultanate paved the way for the emergence bf the independent kingdom of Malwa.

  • 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.
