East Garo Hills District was upgraded from a sub-division to a full fledged district in 1976, after the erstwhile Garo Hills District was reorganised with a view to bring the administration closer to the people. The District is bounded by South Garo Hills on the south, West Garo Hills on the west, East Khasi Hills on the East and the state of Assam on the north.
The new headquarter-complex is a neatly planned township. It has been christened as Williamnagar after Captain Williamson A. Sangma, the first Chief Minister of the State of Meghalaya. Williamnagar now has all the amenities of a modern town and is the largest growth centre in Garo Hills, next to Tura.
This web portal is designed as an interface of the District Administration, to disseminate information about the district to the public and as a step towards an administration that is more transparent & participatory in nature. We welcome your views & suggestions, please refer us to others and visit again. Thank you!
