The Khasi tribes make the largest group followed by the Garo, Jaintia, Biates, Koch, Boro, Hajong, Dimasa, Kuki, etc. The state had a literacy rate of 62.56%, according to the census of 2001 and ranked 27th most literate state in India. However, over the years the literacy rate has shown an overall enhancement to 75.5% as per the 2011 Census reports (77.17% for males and 73.78% for females). Meghalaya is the first state to introduce the concept of “Communitization”. In this model of education, the committees or the governing body of government aided schools and colleges have prominent citizens heading these committees.
The government is promoting the concept of Right to Free and Compulsory Education in the state. Still the education department in Meghalaya attempts hard to live up to possible challenges that arise in the Human resource development sector of the state. The central university, is located in the functional capital of Shillong, which coordinates the action of all the small educational institutions of the state. Shillong is considered to be the academic hub of the state, with the presence of most of the higher studies institutions.
