The economy is largely agrarian, following the traditional jhum system of rotational slash-and-burn cropping to a limited extent.

Sasatgre village is located in the Rongram Community & Rural Development (C&RD) block in the West Garo Hills district of Meghalaya.

[3]: 21 [4] Sasatgre is situated in the West Garo Hills at an elevation of 900 m (3,000 ft) in a saddle north of the Nokrek Ridge.

[citation needed] Sasatgre has a tropical climate, hot and humid during the summer and rainy season (March - October) and pleasantly cool during the short winter (December - February).

As the Garo society is matrilinal, the nokma typically looks for a young man from his own lineage to marry his daughter.

It is responsible for maintenance of public paths, roads, wells, tanks, etc., for registration of births and deaths and other record keeping, etc.

[7] Since 2013, the Forest Department, Government of Meghalaya has declared 64 Community Reserves under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972.

In 2011, people cultivating their own or leased land comprised 87% of the main workers (those employed for >6 months in a year).

[10] Weaving of cane and bamboo products is done by households mostly for their own use, increasingly for sale to tourists.

When the plot is again allotted for cropping, the scrub forest is cleared and burnt in a planned operation.

[11] In the first year, the plot is used for vegetables such as sweet potato, ginger, varieties of beans, sugarcane, onions, etc.

The planting of vegetables is somewhat random, adding variety to the diet and improving the soil health.

[3]: 27–42 Since about 1970, some families took advantage of a custom that permitted planting of crops on any land not already covered by the jhum system.

[3]: 323–32 By 2022, due to the State Government policy of granting ownership to cultivators, only about 10% of the land was under the jhum system.

Sasatgre is a convenient base for visiting the Daribokgre entrance to Nokrek about 7 km (4.3 mi) distant.

As the villagers retain many of their traditional customs, tourists can experience the tribal lifestyle in a few homestays.
