NATURAL RESOURCES IN MEGHALAYA:

Meghalaya is rich in natural resources like coal, uranium and is the only
state with surplus power generation. It is known for its tourism potential.
FOREST :
The total estimated forest area of the State is 8,514 sq. kms. of which only 722.36 sq. kms. are
directly under the control of the State Forest Department. The remaining areas are managed by
the respective District Councils of Khasi Hills, Jaintia Hills and Garo Hills as per provisions of
the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India. Except the reserved forest areas and protected
forests in and around Shillong (being managed by the department in arrangement with the
District Councils), the rest of the forest areas are subjected to the primitive agricultural
practice of shifting cultivation or slash and burn method especially in Garo Hills.
NATURAL RESOURCES IN ARUNACHAL
PRADESH :
 Arunachal Pradesh formerly known as North Eastern Frontier Agency (NEFA) is called as
“The Land of Rising Sun”.
 FOREST :
 Forest Research Institute of India’s India State of Forest Report 2019 lists area under
different forest types in the state.The major forest types as a percentage of the forest cover
area are:
• East Himalayan Sub-Tropical Wet Hill Forest = 24.35%
• East Himalayan Wet Temperate Forest = 22.92%
• East Himalayan Sub-Alpine Birch/Fir Forest = 13.46%
• Alpine Pastures = 6.73%
• Sub-Himalayan Light Alluvial Semi-Evergreen Forest = 6.60%
• Others = Remaining
MINERAL RESOURCES IN MEGHALAYA :

 Meghalaya with its wealth of mineral deposits is a storehouse of industrial

potential. There are extensive deposits of coal, limestone, granite, clay
and other minerals.
1. LIMESTONE : Limestone is major mineral occurs in an extensive belt (approx. 200
Km. long) along the southern border of Meghalaya. The quality of limestone found here
varies from cement grade to chemical grade. Total inferred reserve of limestone within the
State is put at about 5,000 million tonnes. The quality of limestone in the State has CaO
content even upto 53 per cent and can be of great use to the steel, fertilizer and chemical
industries.
2. COAL : Coal deposits can be found in all districts and particularly in the Southern slopes
of the State. This coal bears a low ash content and its calorific value ranges between 6,500 to
7,500 K Cal/Kg. The total estimated inferred reserve of coal is in the region of 560 million
tonnes.
3. Granite : The state of Meghalaya is endowed with abundant sources of
granite and other crystallised rocks which can yield tiles/blocks , finished
and texture after its proper cutting and finish.
 MINERAL RESOURCES IN ARUNACHAL
PRADESH
Arunachal Pradesh has a vast reserve of mineral oils and gas. This state has also coal
reserves. Coal is explored from Namchik-Namphuk mines in Tirap district. Besides coal oil
and gas there is a huge reserve of dolomite, limestone, graphite, marble, lead and zinc etc. It is
also assumed that there is the reserve of iron and copper .

Coal occurs in Kameng, Subansiri and Tirap districts.

Besides, there are occurrences of Copper ore, Gold and
Pyrites in Subansiri, Kameng, Siang and Lohit districts,
Dolomite in Kameng district, Graphite in Lohit and
Subansiri districts and flux grade limestone in Lohit district.
 A number of thermal springs are in this state. Occurrences of oil have been reported from
Ningru, Kumchai, Kharsang, Manabhum and across the Noa Dithing river in Arunachal
Pradesh. Of these, two wells in Ningru and one in Dum Duma turned out to be oil
producing. Natural gas is also produced in the state. Investigations will be continued by
drilling and traverse mapping. OIL (Oil India Limited) carried out geological survey. It
also carried out 60,889 meter drilling for petroleum and natural gas at Kumchai.
