Till then, the territories, now forming the State of Meghalaya, were a part of the State of Assam. The former United Khasi and Jaintia Hills and Garo Hills Districts of Assam had earlier been constituted as an autonomous State in 1970. The full-fledged State of Meghalaya has now completed over two decades of planned efforts towards economic development and social change.
