The conference, running from March 13 to 16, will take place at the Bodofa Fwthar area in Kokrajhar district and is dedicated to Bodofa Upendra Nath Brahma, a respected figure from Dotma, his birthplace.
The gathering aims to bring together policymakers, educators, and community leaders to discuss education, youth development, and long-term progress. A key focus of the conference will be advancing the Mission Quality Education Movement-2030, reinforcing efforts to strengthen academic frameworks and create more skill-building opportunities.
The Education and Youth Conclave, part of the event, will delve into strategies to empower students and professionals, while experts will analyze the impact of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on regional learning. Dipen Boro, President of ABSU, underscored the significance of the conference, stating, “This gathering is a step toward progress, bringing together ideas that can drive real change. Education and empowerment go hand in hand, shaping a future where opportunities are accessible to all.”

The four-day event will also feature sports tournaments, literary contests, a cultural evening, and an exhibition-cum-book fair showcasing Bodo heritage. Several key venues dedicated to respected personalities will be inaugurated to honor their contributions.
Highlighting the importance of the conference as a bridge between aspiration and action, the official statement noted, “Beyond discussions, the conference will serve as a bridge between aspirations and action. While leaders and policymakers set the agenda, the real impact will be seen in the years ahead as ideas turn into initiatives, commitments translate into results, and a collective vision transforms into reality.”
