Answer & Solution
Answer: Option
A
Solution:
The correct answer is Option A: Braj Kumar Nehru.
Historical Context:
When Meghalaya was granted full statehood on January 21, 1972, Braj Kumar Nehru, who was then the Governor of Assam, was given the additional charge as the first Governor of Meghalaya. He served in this capacity until September 19, 1973, when he was transferred.
From 1972 to 1989, the Governor of Assam held the additional charge of the Governor of Meghalaya, meaning the same individual served as the governor for both states.
Why other options are incorrect:
Option B: Lallan Prasad Singh: While Lallan Prasad Singh served as a governor, he was not the first Governor of Meghalaya.
Option C: Tribeni Sahai Misra: This name is not associated with the governorship of Meghalaya.
Option D: None of These: This is incorrect because Braj Kumar Nehru was indeed the first Governor of Meghalaya.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A: Braj Kumar Nehru, as he held the additional charge as the first Governor of Meghalaya during its initial period of statehood.
