Pegu informed that the Community Vision Document is a transformative initiative under the Bodoland Happiness Mission, which aims to address the aspirations of 26 diverse communities within the region.
The document also serves as a blueprint for fostering sustainable peace, healing, and inclusive development following decades of conflict and violence in the BTR.
Meanwhile, the initiative follows the signing of the 2020 Bodoland Peace Accord, which paved the way for a new era of peace and development in the region.
The primary objective of the Community Vision Document is to align government efforts with the needs of local communities while promoting trust, inclusivity, and active participation in the region’s progress.
Additionally, the creation of the Vision Document involved comprehensive engagement with over 70 organizations and institutions across BTR.
Furthermore, the process included Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), ensuring the participation of people from different professions, genders, and age groups.
The document also focuses on addressing key issues in education, healthcare, economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability.
Additionally, it lays down a clear roadmap for achieving sustainable peace and development, underpinned by the shared vision of the BTR’s communities.
