BODO AGREEMENT 

A historic agreement was signed between Government of India, Government of Assam and Bodo representatives to end the over 50-year old Bodo crisis.  Key highlights of the agreement: 

• Increase the scope and powers of the Bodo Territorial Council (BTC) and to streamline its functioning;  
• Set up a commission under Section 14 of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India, to recommend the inclusion or exclusion of tribal population residing in villages adjoining Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) areas; 
• The Government of Assam will establish a Bodo-Kachari Welfare Council; 
• The Assam government will also notify Bodo language as an associate official language in the state and will set up a separate directorate for Bodo medium schools; 
• Promote and protect Bodo's social, cultural, linguistic and ethnic identities;  
• Providing legislative protection for the land rights of tribals;  
• A Special Development Package Rs. 1500 crores over three years will be given by the Union Government to undertake specific projects for the development of Bodo areas. 
• Rehabilitate members of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) factions (With this agreement, over 1500 armed cadres will abjure violence and join the mainstream). 
 
Bodo Language?
• PM Modi acknowledged the signing of the Bodo Peace Accord 2020 among the Centre, Assam government and Bodo groups by writing these tweets in the Bodo language. The language is one of the key thrust areas in the Bodo Accord. 

• Estimated to have 1.5 million speakers (Census 2011), Bodo is listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.  

• It is spoken in Assam, where the Bodo tribe constitutes about 5-6% of the population, and in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and West Bengal. 

• While Bodo is officially written in the Devanagri script, the language has a history of having been written in at least three different scripts — until in 1974, the Government recognised Devanagari as its official script.
