SHILLONG: Shillong is the capital of Meghalaya, one of the smallest states in India and home to the Khasis. It is the headquarters of the East Khasi Hills district and is situated at an average altitude of above sea level, with the highest point being Shillong Peak. It is said that the rolling hills around the town reminded the European settlers of Scotland. Hence, Shillong is known as "Scotland of the East."

Alma has started expanding  its activities in the North-East region and such activities would be done under the ablest guidance of Shilong  center head Mrs Beryl E. Khyriem and Mr Shaiq. This is informed by the director of Alma Shri Santosh Shukla, Advocate.

Significantly, It has steadily grown in size and significance since it was made the civil station of the Khasi and Jaintia Hills in 1864 by the British. In 1874, on the formation of Assam as a Chief Commissioner's Province, it was chosen as the headquarters of the new administration because of its convenient location between the Brahmaputra and Surma valleys and more so because the climate of Shillong was much cooler than tropical India. Shillong remained the capital of undivided Assam until the creation of the new state of Meghalaya on 21 January 1972, when Shillong became the capital of Meghalaya and Assam moved its capital to Dispur in Guwahati.

Shri Shukla told that Alma would create awareness to promote the cause of computer and IT education here.
