Garo Hills Autonomous District Council, Administrative district council in Tura, India
The Garo Hills Autonomous District Council manages five districts across Meghalaya, covering an area of 10,102 square kilometers with a population of 1.4 million residents.
The council emerged from the North Eastern Areas Reorganisation Act of 1971, which established Meghalaya as a separate state with provisions for tribal administration.
The council preserves traditional practices of Garo tribes through legal frameworks, maintaining courts specifically dedicated to cases involving Schedule Tribe communities.
Regular council sessions occur every four months at the headquarters in Tura, where 29 elected and 1 nominated member discuss legislation and development initiatives.
The Executive Committee operates similarly to a state Cabinet, requiring the Chief Executive Member to obtain approval from Meghalaya's Governor for major decisions.
