Kokrajhar, Feb 16 : The All Bodo Students Union (Absu) today emphasised the need of a literate society and called upon the community leaders to join hands to build one.
Speaking on the 42nd Foundation Day of Absu at Bodofa House in Kokrajhar, the outgoing president of the union, Rwngwra Narzary, said they have been fighting for the uplift of Bodo society since its formation.
“Our struggle continues. The time has come to build a learned and educated society,” he said. “The current period is most crucial for the Bodos. The younger generation should be vibrant and knowledgeable in every field so that they can transform the area into a developed region. Positive dreams and hard work are the only way to achieve the mission and goals and the spirit of Bodo nationalism.”
A former president of the Bodo Sahitya Sabha, Brajendra Kumar Brahma, spoke of Absu’s role in the development of greater Bodo society.
“The role played by Absu since its inception 42 years ago is beyond comparison. Absu’s role, along with the Bodo Sahitya Sabha, in fighting for the development of the Bodo society is laudable,” he said.
“It was on this day in 1967, that Absu was formed by some college and university students and youths. It was formed to upgrade and look after the downtrodden Bodo community in the area of social, political, cultural, education, literature and economy.”
“A lot has been achieved because of the struggle and hard work but we still have lots to do,” he said. A colourful cultural programme was held.
