A Critical Analysis of Schedule Sixth: A Case Study of Khasi Hills Autonomous District Council (KHADC) of Meghalaya

Arun Kumar Mypathi

Abstract: In 1972 Meghalaya was formed as a new state comprising Khasi hills, Jaintia hills, and Garo hills. The Khasis, Jaintias, and Garos are the three major tribes in Meghalaya. The first inner line regulation was passed in 1873 for all the districts of the eastern frontiers of Bengal (Sukumaran, 1986). Provisions of certain basic infrastructure and services are grossly inadequate in most blocks of Meghalaya. Improvements in different socioeconomic development indicators are essential for enhancing people?s development levels. There is a wide disparity among the districts of Meghalaya in terms of all the sectors of development.
