This is a clear demonstration that even seemingly impossible things become possible when thereis a will and an inspired direction. I do realise that this puiJllcatl on giving the provisional results is the result of devoted work of your staff and thousands of enthusiastic census workers. I hope that the 1981 Population Census of India would become a landmark in our census history by establishing high standards in its publications in respect of both information content and technical orientation.

Dear Mr. Padmanabha, You must have set a record for speed in producing census results, tt9 have provisional results for your large and populous country within two weeks of the date of enumera­ tion is an enviable performance. The inclusion graphics and commentary simply adds reasons for the admiration of the massive teamwork you had organised. We are also impressed by the speed with which this report reached us. Perhaps it would be useful to compare these provisional results with the final results to see if there are any conclusiorts which would differ significantly from those that can be drawn from the figures that have now been released. Such a comparison might stimulate others to make a greater effort at prompt release of results.

  • 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.

  • 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).

Due to limitation of physiographic conditions and climate, Sikkim is having very (NER STATES) limited areas (19821 ha in selected 1 district) that can be brought under sericulture activities. Among non-mulberry sericulture, Assam and Meghalaya are having highest suitable areas in terms of Muga in the selected districts (196212 ha and 82524 ha, respectively). The lowest suitable area for Muga was found in Arunachal Pradesh.

  • Study on Areas Affected by Mining in Meghalaya by NEHU-MBMA
    Technical Report of Project entitled Study on Mining Affected Areas and its Impact on Livelihood Meghalaya- Community Led Landscape Management Project Meghalaya Basin Management Agency Shillong 2019 Prof. O. P. Singh Principal Investigator/Consultant Department of Environmental Studies North-Eastern Hill University Shillong- 793022 Meghalaya Project Number: P 157836 Contract Number: MBMA/CLLMP/PP/Mining/46/2017 Preface The indiscriminate and unscientific mining and absence of post mining treatment and management of mined areas have made the fragile ecosystems of Meghalaya more vulnerable to environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. As a consequence, the natural resources such as soil, water, forest and forest products, biodiversity etc. have been severely affected both in terms of their quality and quantity in the mining areas of the state. The traditional livelihood options linked to these resources have also been found affected. The information on effects of coal, limestone, sand mining etc. on land, water, forest resources and the community are fragmentary and thus needed consolidation with recent data. The meagre information available on the effect of mining on human health, natural resources with special emphasis on soil, water and biodiversity, livelihood of the people with particular reference to agriculture including horticulture, livestock, aquaculture and fishery are scattered, hence needed compilation. Such information is essential to strengthen the community led natural resource management practices in order to facilitate community led planning coupled with technical inputs and funding broadly in the areas of forest, water and soil in Meghalaya. Hence, the need was felt to compile available information in order to identify the drivers of degradation and also for promoting activities towards conservation of forest, soil and water resources with reference to sustainable livelihood.
