INTRODUCTION: Ri Bhoi District came into existence on the 4th June 1992 by upgrading the former Civil Sub- Division. The District was carved out from the erstwhile East Khasi Hills District and lies between North Latitudes 25 15’ and 26 15’ and between East Longitudes 91 45’ and 92 15’. It geographically comprises parts of the Khasi kingdoms v.i.z parts of Mylliem Syiemship, Khyrim Syiemship, Nongspung Syiemship, Nongkhlaw Syiemship, whole of Nongpoh Sirdarship (erstwhile Nongpoh Syiemship), Myrdon Sirdarship and the erstwhile Nongwah Syiemship. Presently, the District is bounded on the North by the Kamrup, Morigaon and Nagaon Districts of Assam, on the East by the Karbi Anglong District of Assam, on the South by East Khasi Hills & West Khasi Hills Districts and on the West by the West Khasi Hills District. Nongpoh is the District headquarter and as well as that of Nongpoh Sirdarship. Ri Bhoi District contains an area of 2448.00 Sq.Kms excluding the geographical areas under the erstwhile Nongwah Syiemship and other places which fall under the ‘Areas of Differences’ between Assam and Meghalaya. Nongpoh is near to two major cities of Shillong and Guwahati and hence is an easy to reach place. It is located at 53 km away from Shillong and 50 km from Guwahati. Mineral deposits in Ri - Bhoi District occur largely in the form of rocks or boulders such as granite, gneiss, phyllite, migmatite, schist, pegmatite etc. They constitute the vital raw materials for many construction activities (roads and building projects) and hence are a major source for development of infrastructure in the District and in the nearby towns and villages of the neighbouring State. The Government of India through the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MoEF& CC) has brought out a Notification on 25" July 2018, further amending the Erstwhile Environment Impact Assessment Notification 2006. Based on the amendment introduced by the Ministry, a District Survey Report for minor minerals available in the District is to be prepared separately which shall form the basis for application of environmental clearance and appraisal of projects. Such Report shall be updated once every five years. Therefore, the Government of Meghalaya vide Notification No. FOR.29/2019/1 dated 9" July 2019 constituted the District Level Task Force) with the following composition for the purpose of preparation of District Survey Report (DSR). a (oo Page - 2 COMPOSITION OF THE DISTRICT LEVEL TASK FORCE (DLTF) COMMITTEE (Constituted vide government notification no.

OVERVIEW OF MINING ACTIVITY IN THE DISTRICT: Minor mineral constituents such as sand, stone and gravel are required for any type of construction apart from other materials like cement and steel. In the past the demand for such raw materials was commercially negligible. However with the passage of time when the District was carved out the requirement for the development of various infrastructures such as roads, Dams, Buildings etc in the District also rose substantially. As such the demand for the minor mineral in the started an increasing trend. Whereas the demand for gravel is either met through river borne collection or through manufactured grit by the stone crushers, the demand for dressed or undressed stones are met through the broken rock material from the hill slope. Traditionally the local residents used to extract boulder stones to meet out their bonafide requirements for which a fixed amount was paid as royalty to the government. However with the coming into effect of the Meghalaya Minor Mineral Rules (MMMCR) 2016, all mining/quarrying is now being streamlined in accordance with the said rules. Consequently in this District mineral concessions are now being granted through the grant of Mining Lease and so far 22 nos. of mining leases for minor minerals have been granted under the ibid rules in different parts of the District whose details have been indicated at SI No. 9 of this Report. oF c (oo Page - 4 3.

  • Statistical Application for the Analysis of Traffic Congestion and Its Impact

Conf. on Data Science & SDGs EC - 016 December 18-19, 2019, pp 103-119 Dept. of Statistics, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh Statistical Application for the Analysis of Traffic Congestion and Its Impact in a Hill City Utpal Kumar De1; Gitumoni Rajbongshi2 1Department of Economics, North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, 793022, Meghalaya, India, Email: [email protected] Ph: +91-9436102066 2Department of Economics, North Eastern Hill University,Shillong, 793022, Meghalaya, India Email: [email protected] ,Ph: 91-8787448383 Abstract: Traffic congestion has been a severe problem of any growing urban area in the world that imposes drastic economic and social cost on the urban population. The livelihood activity and welfare are highly associated with the traffic flow pattern in the city. Over the years, with rising affluence, number of vehicles has increased disproportionately with road length and space. In East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya, road length increased from 1696 KM in 2001 to merely 2050 KM in 2015, i.e., by 20.87 per cent. However, number of vehicles during the same period increased from 34996 to 137753, i.e., by 293.63 per cent. The problem is more acute in the hilly areas like Shillong due to scarcity of land space to enhance road width, hill topography and curvature along with difficulty and huge cost of construction. Steep hill slops and narrow space with rising vehicles in the peak hours block speedy movement of people, when there is an urgent need. However, congestion varies across space and time of the day. It depends on topography of road, activity pattern and timing of vehicle use, locational pattern of institutions across length and breadth of the city.

  • Also Known As Jaintia Or Synteng, Though Pnar Is the Term Pre
    chapter 20 Pnar Hiram Ring 1 Background Pnar (pbv) (also known as Jaintia or Synteng, though Pnar is the term pre- ferred by speakers) is a member of the Khasian (or Meghalayan) branch of Austroasiatic language spoken in northeast India, primarily in the West and East Jaintia Hills Districts of Meghalaya State.1 Some speakers are found in Assam state to the north and east as well as in the neighboring country of Bangladesh to the south. Although traditionally described as a dialect of Khasi, Pnar exhibits key differences in pronunciation, lexicon, and syntax. According to native speakers of both languages, the differences mean that Pnar and Khasi are not mutually intelligible, though the similarities allow speakers of one lan- guage to learn the other in some months if they are made aware of the differ- ences. The two communities also share many cultural similarities which have contributed to a unity of society and practice, particularly in the domains of government and traditional religion. Khasi is the main language of instruction in primary schools of the region. The 2001 Census of India counted 243,000 speakers of Pnar. The 2011 Census of India (which has not yet released language-specific figures) lists the total population of Jaintia Hills as 395,124. Daladier (2011) estimates the current number of Pnar speakers at around 700,000, though this seems largely a guess. As late as 2011, Khasi was listed in UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger2 as vulnerable, suggesting that it may be in some danger, but due to its consistent use as a language of instruction, this classification is somewhat problematic.

    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.
