found in Arunachal Pradesh are panax, taxus, rubia,
toko patta palm tree and berberis.
 Meghalaya - The state of Meghalaya
also known as the Abode of the clouds
has been identified as a key area for
biodiversity conservation due to its high
species diversity and high level of
endemism. The biodiversity of Meghalaya
includes clouded leopard, jungle cat,
gaur, elephant and barking deer (Land
animals), grey sibia, dark-rumped swift,
common hill myna, greylag goose and
black-necked grebe (Birds), Tor putitora,
Meghalaya loaches, jaintia danio and
shalynai barb (Aquatic animals), dieng
ling, teak, khasi pine, segun and
hollock (Trees and plants).

 NATURAL ENERGY RESOURCES
 Arunachal Pradesh – Natural energy
resources in Arunachal Pradesh are
hydropower, bio-energy, wind energy
and solar enegy. Arunachal Pradesh
produces 277.96MW from solar
energy, 108.99MW from hydropower
and 15MW from bio-energy.
 Meghalaya – Natural energy
resources in Meghalaya are solar
energy, bio-energy, wind energy and
hydro energy. Meghalaya produces
3000MW from solar energy, 165MW
bio-energy, 90MW from wind energy,
414MW from hydro energy.
 AVAILABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Arunachal Pradesh
 The State is having variety of minerals
like coal, Petroleum and Natural
Gas,Dolomite,
Limestone,Graphite,Asbestos,Placer
gold,Iron,Marble,Ferro-Sillicon Grade,
Quartzite, Lead&Zinc,Minor
Minerals(Sand,Gravel,Boulders,soil,etc.)
Meghalaya
 Meghalaya has abundant but untapped
natural resources, including coal,
limestone, kaolin, feldspar, quartz, mica,
gypsum, bauxite, and other minerals. Its
sillimanite deposits (a source of high-
grade ceramic clay) are reported to be the
best in the world and account for almost
all of India's sillimanite output.
 THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE
PUT IN PLACE GEOGRAPHIC FACTORS
 Arunachal Pradesh - Arunachal Pradesh
is primarily a hilly tract nestled in the
foothills of the Himalayas in northeast
India, Arunachal Pradesh have major
sources of its electricity depending on
hydropower of about 108.99MW.
 Meghalaya - The state of Meghalaya
is mountainous, with stretches of valley
and highland plateaus, and it is
geologically rich. It consists mainly of
Archean rock formations. These rock
formations contain rich deposits of
valuable minerals like coal, limestone,
uranium and sillimanite. Meghalaya has
many rivers, Meghalaya largely depends
on hydropower of about 3,000 MW.
HAZARDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
ON THE HEALTH OF HUMAN BEINGS.
AIR POLLUTION – Air pollution is considered as a
major environmental risk it increases the risk of
respiratory infections, heart disease and cancer.

SOIL POLLUTION – Soil pollution is defined

as the presence of toxic chemicals (pollutants or
contaminants) in soil, exposure to soil
contaminants can cause skin diseases, such as
dermatitis caused by irritation or allergies, hives,
acne or even cancer.

WATER POLLUTION -Water pollution is the

contamination of water sources by substances
which make the water unusable for drinking,
cooking, cleaning, swimming, and other
activities, Contaminated water can harbor
bacteria, such as those responsible
for diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid,
hepatitis A, and polio.
