Abstract:

"Meghalaya is a richly inhabited Indian state. Drums, flutes of bamboo and hand-held small cymbals are a common ensemble. The advent of Christianity in the middle of the 20th century marked the start of a decline in tribal popular music. Over time, Meghalaya’s music scene has evolved, attracting many talented artists and bands from both traditional and not-so traditional genres. Any of the most recent Meghalaya musicians and bands is: The Plague Throat, Kerios Wahlang, Cryptographik Street Poets, etc., Soulmate, Lou Majaw, and Snow White. Meghalaya’s music is characterised by traditional instr

Meghalaya is considered to have a rich base of mineral resources. Besides mining on Government owned land and mines in the state, traditionally coal mining has also been done by individuals who own the land and also have rights to the minerals in the sub-soil. This is quite extensive, and often illegal. The low level of industrialisation and the relatively poor infrastructure base acts as an impediment to the exploitation of these natural resources in the interest of the state’s economy, however, with the advent of some corporate companies, the trend has been changing.

Meghalaya, one of the seven sisters of North-East India, is bestowed with many plant species of medicinal importance. Herbal remedies have played an integral role in developing the cultural and spiritual life of the indigenous tribes of Meghalaya by assisting the primary healthcare needs of the people. In addition, the knowledge of traditional herbal medicine may serve as the basis for new drug discovery. However, the scientific community's vast ethnomedicinal knowledge of Meghalaya remains unexplored. In the present study, an effort has been made to shed light on the substantial folklore know

Abstract:

Despite being considered a low prevalence state for illicit drug use in 2005, presently Meghalaya faces heightened vulnerability to drug use. The absence of updated data in Meghalaya underscores the necessity for this study to profile drug users. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted; 128 opioid substitution therapy clients and 17 service providers from three districts of Meghalaya were interviewed. Drug users were generally males with low educational attainment and 80% working in the unorganized sector. A quarter started drug use during their school years. The reasons for drug initia

Two species of Drepanolejeunea viz., D. fleischeri (Steph.) Grolle & R.L. Zhu and D. yunnanensis (P.C. Chen) Grolle & R.L. Zhu, are reported for the first time in Meghalaya. Of these, the former was earlier reported in India from Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Sikkim and West Bengal, while the latter from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Karnataka, Manipur and West Bengal. Taxonomic descriptions and illustration of both the species and key to the species of genus in Meghalaya are provided.

Bulbophyllum Petit-Thouars (1822: tab. 3) is the largest orchid genus, comprising about 1900 species, largely distributed in tropical areas of both New and Old Worlds (Chen & Vermeulen 2009). There are about 100 species in India and about 63 in northeastern India (Augustine et al 2001, Misra 2007). Kataki (1986) reported 28 species of Bulbophyllum from the state of Meghalaya. During our botanical exploration to Cherrapunjee, Meghalaya, in July 2013, we found a new species described below.

Abstract Metaluminous granitoids of the South Khasi batholith (SKB) in the West Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya define a Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron age of 757 ± 60 Ma, with (87Sr/86Sr) of 0.71069 ±0.00092. SKB and other granitoids of Meghalaya like Mylliem, Nongpoh and Kyrdem have many common features such as the presence of basic enclaves of hornblende gneiss and amphibolite, lateto post-tectonic nature, predominance of biotite amongst mafic silicates, overall metaluminous nature and high (87Sr/86Sr) of more than 0.709.

The Hedge Cupid butterfly, Bothrinia chennellii (de Nicéville, 1884) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is rediscovered to Meghalaya, India, from two different localities since its last known records. The species was last recorded 63 years ago by Cantlie from Shillong, Khasi Hills, Meghalaya in 1952 and since then no records of this species has been found in the literature of the state. The species is legally protected under Schedule II of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. In this paper taxonomy, distribution and current habitat of the species are discussed.
