Abstract
The study of the state of infrastructure in Meghalaya clearly reflects the poor status of the economic infrastructure. While the infrastructure of the states in the northeast, is generally poor compared to the rest of the country, that of Meghalaya is much worse compared to some of its neighboring states. It also shows that in respect of road, postal, irrigation and banking infrastructures, the position of Meghalaya with respect to the Indian average has deteriorated in the last twenty years, which is a matter of concern. The deterioration is sharpest in irrigation sector. Further, within Meghalaya, there exists regional imbalance with respect to concentration of infrastructure.
