oth intruded by granitic plutons and younger basic rocks, constitute the bulk of the exposed rocks inthe northern and eastern part of the district. Exposed along the southern rims of the plateau is anear complete sequence of Tertiary sediments overlying the volcanic suite of Sylhet traps, equivalentin age to the Deccan traps of western peninsular India.Thin seams of low ash, high sulphur coal, occurring fairly extensively on the lower Tertiarysediments and high grade fossiliferous limestones overlying these are the major minerals occurringin the district. The southern plank of the plateau is prone to landslides.2.7 SOCIO‐ECONOMIC FEATURESSo far as we have delved deep into the matter of the economic status of Meghalaya as a whole andEast Khasi Hills in particular in various aspects such as agriculture and its allied activities, industries,mining, banking, finance, water supply, electricity, road and transportation, post andtelecommunication, education and health, literacy and employment, it has been noticed that thoughpost and telecommunications have developed, with the advent of computers and mobile phones,enrolment of employees in Government has decreased in the past ten years and a saturation pointhas been reached.It must be noted that unemployment is not only an economic problem but also a social issue, whichdisturbs the pace of development and peace in the society. Literacy and education are regarded astwo important criteria that reflect the progress of any individual at any level.According to the Census report of the Government of India, 2001, East Khasi Hills District, has shownthe highest rate of literate persons in the state with 74.74%.Big industries are scarce, in fact, absent in East Khasi Hills District which partially or wholly results inlow per capita consumption of electricity annually. Industrial backwardness may also be attributed tovarious factors, geographical and non‐ geographical that might have hindered the progress of thissector.Road transport has become one of the important infrastructural needs of the people in order toenhance productive activities and the well being of the society as a whole. Road transport is thelifeline of the state as far as its economy is concerned. There are no railway lines to and in Meghalayaas a whole and East Khasi Hills in particular. Although air transport is available in the state, it isperhaps still considered a luxury to the populace.District Disaster Management Plan, East Khasi Hills District Page 10
