Garo hills autonomous district council: Issues and problems

Meghalaya is one of the states in India where three tribes i.e the Garo, Jaintia and Khasi people inhabit. It became a state on January 21^st 1972 and was also given its own District Councils to protect and preserve their culture, traditions and customs. The Garo Hills Autonomous District was inaugurated for the Garos so that they can preserve and protect their culture. As years passed by the District Council has gone through many changes and has ceased to become corrupt and inefficient machinery. The GHADC has many problems and issues which makes it very vulnerable to collapse any moment. The purpose for which it was created is in dilemma as it can't make strong decisions for the welfare of the Garo people. It has many flaws and therefore many changes has to be made in order to make it more efficient and people centric so that it can withstand the hurdles which it is facing. The only option for it is to totally revamp itself and restart to restore its old glory and set an example to the other District Councils that it has strong powers and functions as mentioned in the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
