A CORRESPONDENT

LAKHIMPUR: "The Tribal communities of Assam, who are the sons of the soil of this region, cannot achieve their constitutional rights until and unless they initiate movement. Both governments have a lot of works to do for the all-round progress and development of the Tribal communities of the State," said Mihiniswar Basumatary, the Chief Executive Member (CEM) of Bodo Kachari Welfare Autonomous Council (BKWAC) in Jonai. He said so while delivering his lecture as the chief guest in the open session of 4th biennial conference of Dhemaji district units of United Bodo People's Organization (UBPO), 16th biennial conference of Dhemaji district unit of All Bodo Women Welfare Federation (ABWWF) and 3rd biennial conference of Sanja Sanjari Nwgwr regional unit of UBPO.

He appealed to the UBPO to pay its attention to form a developed Bodo community.

In the programme UBPO State president Manoranjan Basumatary was present as an appointed speaker. He said, "The State Government has constituted a separate Language Directorate for the development of Bodo and other tribal languages as a result of long movement. But it has no adequate infrastructures. It is nothing but a big zero till now."
