In Bodoland

(April 2023-March 2028)

The Chief Executive Member (CEM) of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), Shri Pramod Boro, invited BRLF to collaborate in January 2021. The goal was to support comprehensive livelihood development in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) and enhance the capabilities of the Village Council Development Committees (VCDCs) and local community-based organizations. As a result, the BTC government and BRLF announced the formation of the BRLF Bodoland Task Force. The Task Force comprised members from both BTC and BRLF and was tasked with creating an approach paper outlining the potential interventions by BRLF in the BTR. The concept note was developed based on two visits made by the Task Force to Bodoland and subsequent discussions with various regional stakeholders, including community members.
