5. HISTORY OF MEGHALAYA
 The state of Meghalaya was formed in 1972 when it was
carved out of the state of Assam. Before that, Meghalaya
was a part of the British Indian Empire, and before that it
was ruled by various local kings and chieftains. The Khasi
Hills, in particular, had a complex system of governance with
each clan or village having its own ruler.
 Meghalaya is a state in northeastern India which has rich
history that dates back to ancient times. The state is
believed to have been inhabited by various tribes since
prehistoric times. The Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes are the
major ethnic groups that have lived in Meghalaya for
centuries.

6.  For a major part of British Rule, the tribal areas of the
North-East was part of the larger East Bengal and Assam
administrative divisions. Post-independence, it was not until
1972 that Meghalaya gained statehood after a firm but largely
peaceful agitation, the Hill State Movement. A major reason for
the struggle was the imposition of Assamese as an official
language on the tribal areas (1960), something which the
fiercely autonomous indigenous communities were against as it
eroded their linguistic and cultural distinctiveness. Captain
Williamson A Sangma, who was one of the leaders of the Hill
State Movement, was the first chief minister of Meghalaya.

7. A Tale of Ancient Migrations
The region that today constitutes Meghalaya can be termed
as a microcosm of diversity- a place that has witnessed many
layers of migration.The Pnars, Khasis, and the Garos are
communities of Paleo-Mongoloid descent and are believed to
be one of the earliest settlers in the present-day North-East India.
The Achiks or Garos are closely related to the Bodos of Assam
and belong to the Tibeto - Burman family while the Khasis and
Pnars come from Mon-Khmer family. Some of the more recent
pre-colonial chronicles and mentions of the Pnars
have been found in records made during the days of the
Axom kingdom (present-day Assam).

8. Agriculture
Agriculture is the main source of occupation in the state. Nearly 80%
of the state's population depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood.
Jhum cultivation (an old tribal habit of cultivation) is still practiced in this state.
This cultivation practice adds to the problems because it results in soil
erosion and destruction of forests. Rice and Maize are the main food
crops of the state. The cash crops are potato, turmeric, ginger,
blackpepper, arecanut, betel vine, tapioca, short staple cotton, jute,
mesta, mustard and rape seed. The agro-climatic variations of the state
supports the horticulture production. The state is renowned for its oranges,
pineapple, banana, jackfruit and temperate fruits like plum and peaches.

9. • Meghalaya is predominantly an
agrarian economy. Agriculture and
allied activities engage nearly two-
thirds of the total workforce in
Meghalaya. This sector's
contribution to the state's NSDP is
about one-third. Agriculture in the
state is characterized by low
productivity and unsustainable
farm practices.

12. Meghalaya literally means the 'Abode of Clouds'. As the name suggests the state is
associated with clouds and rains. The climate of Meghalaya is generally very humid.
It is directly influenced by the south west monsoon and the north east winter
winds. The four main seasons of Meghalaya are Spring (March to April), Monsoon
(May to September), Autumn (October to November) and Winter (December to
February). The rainfall is heaviest in south eastern Garo hills and decreases in the
central regions and in the north. Cherrapunji-Mawsynram region receives the
heaviest rainfall with an annual average of 12670 mm. The average rainfall in the
state is 12000 mm. The temperature starts warming up with the advent of spring
and reaches the maximum in the summer (monsoon) months of May and June. The
winter is quite severe with minimum temperature coming down to as low as 2° C
in the Khasi Hills. April and May are the warmest months and January is the
coldest month.
