Kamal Kumar Brahma Derhasad Bantha by ABSU
The Bodo medium was introduced on 18th May 1963 in Assam. It was in 1976 the Bodo medium Students were lucky to appear for the Secondary Examination. A good number of students have passed out since then. Many intellectuals and people working in different fields have also studied in Bodo medium. There are about 20 lakhs Bodo population in Assam of which 4 lakh are students in Bodo medium studying in lower primary, upper primary and high schools in Bodo medium. There are only 27 Bodo medium provincialised high schools in Assam which do have sufficient teachers and no infrastructure for the students. Some of these schools have no teachers who can teach science and mathematics.
Though the Right to education Act has been passed under article 46 where it is mentioned that the Scheduled tribes and Scheduled Castes people should get free education, the Government of Assam has ignored and neglected the Bodo medium education.

This year the award was conferred on 4th June at Amjonga High School’s field near Dudhnoi in Goalpara district of Assam. Speaking on the occasion ABSU president Pramod Bodo said that Government of Assam do not show their interest to know why the results of the Bodo medium schools is worst and hence they fell the necessity to develop the schools and as a result the pass percentage of the Bodo medium students is very low.
