Speaking on the occasion, Acharya said the vision document of BTC is a good initiative as they want to establish peace and equal development of Bodoland.
“The vision of Bodofa UN Brahma and social reformer Gurudev Kalicharan Brahma has been translated into reality. The Bodoland Happiness Mission is an example of holistic efforts of the BTC government to ensure peaceful co-existence and development,” he added.
The Governor further said that without peace and communal harmony the sustainable development will not be possible and hence people of BTR should stand together and work together for Viksit Bodoland. He also hoped that the BTR’s vision document will not only bring infrastructure development to the region but will also develop the education and other sectors as well.
