Скачать или смотреть State Central Library: A custodian of Meghalaya’s legacy

From the headquarters of the Assam province during British rule to the capital of undivided Assam post-Independence, Shillong has witnessed unprecedented changes for over a century until the formation of Meghalaya in 1972. Shillong’s journey as the capital of Meghalaya was a result of decades of administrative reforms, before and after Independence. As the state celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, let us take a look at how state-owned buildings evolved with the handover from one government to another.
In this episode of Shillong’s Iconic Structures, we are featuring one of Meghalaya’s famous structures –the State Central Library-cum-U Soso Tham Auditorium, which was established in 1954. It is located in the centre of the city, opposite All Saints Church.
