Addressing the function, the governor said, “If we are to think about the development of Bodoland, we have to be self-dependent,” he said. Boro thanked the governor for visiting the BTR and launching the programme.
Fifty candidates (10 from each district of Baksa, Chirang, Kokrajhar, Tamulpur and Udalguri) would be shortlisted through an entrance examination to participate in the programme each year, the statement said.
