The festival highlights the role of
cultural and linguistic diversity in the development

OBJECTIVES
Promoting Peace and Unity
: The event marks the ongoing journey of peace in the Bodoland region, particularly after the
Bodo Peace Accord of 2020
, which resolved decades of conflict and violence.
The agreement, achieved under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, is evidence of the commitment
towards peacebuilding in the region and serves as a model for resolving similar
issues in other areas.
Cultural and Linguistic Integration
: The festival will emphasize the
importance of preserving and promoting the Bodo language, traditions, and customs,
while also focusing on the cultural contributions of other communities from the
Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR).
It is an opportunity for the Bodo people,
spread across Assam, West Bengal, Nepal,
and other international border areas, to showcase their rich heritage.
Promoting Bodo Society’s Development
: The Mahotsov aims to create a more integrated Bodo society by celebrating cultural diversity, fostering educational advancements, and promoting tourism, particularly through themes such as
ecological biodiversity
and the
tourism potential
of the Bodoland region.
SIGNIFICANCE
Cultural Revival
: The event will showcase Bodo literature, language, traditions, and customs through various sessions and discussions.
Special focus will be on how Bodo culture contributes to India’s overall heritage.
Education Focus
: One of the key discussions will address the
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
and its role in promoting mother-tongue instruction, particularly in Bodo and other indigenous languages.
Tourism Development
: The festival will also explore opportunities for promoting tourism in the Bodoland region, which is known for its scenic beauty, cultural richness, and ecological diversity.
THE BODO TRIBE
Historical Background
: The Bodo tribe is one of the
earliest known ethnic groups to inhabit Assam,
historically linked to the
Indo-Mongoloid
or
Indo-Tibetan
The Bodos have distinctive linguistic and cultural traits that differentiate them from other ethnic groups in India.
Geographic Distribution
:
Bodo-speaking
communities are found across Assam (especially in the
Brahmaputra Valley
),
West Bengal
, and
Nepal
.
In Assam, they are known as the
Bodos
or
Boros
, and in Lower Assam and West Bengal, they are referred to as
Meches
.
Language
: The Bodo language belongs to the
Tibeto-Burman
family, which is spoken by a large number of people in the northeastern region, including in
parts of Assam, West Bengal, and Myanmar (Burma).
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE REGION
Socio-political Impact
: The
Bodo Peace Accord (2020)
was a landmark agreement that
addressed the long-standing demands of the Bodo people
, which included autonomy, recognition of the Bodo language, and a separate administrative body.
The
successful implementation of the peace agreement has played a crucial role in reducing insurgency and fostering
a stable political environment in the region.
Economic Development

cultural tourism
, enhancing the region’s profile, and bringing attention to its untapped potential in terms of biodiversity, natural resources, and cultural heritage.
