The Garo society is a matrilineal society,where a female is always positioned as head and treated as the centre of the household. Though inheritance and succession follow the mother‟s line, the male is always regarded as the sole authority of the Garo household. Earlier,the practice of shifting cultivation is the only means of subsistence,in which the role of women was very significant. These days, with a decline in the practice of shifting cultivation, agricultural activities have become solely a male‟s affair. However, with educational improvements,the status of women has undergone certain changes and the paper aims to discuss the present status of Garo women residing in the villages bordering Assam and Meghalaya.
