Bodoland Territorial Region:

The Bodo is the largest ethno linguistic group in the Assam. They are concentrated mainly in the Bodoland Territorial Region of Assam.
The fi rst Bodo accord was signed with the ABSU in 1993. It led to the creation of the Bodoland Autonomous Council (BAC) with some limited political powers.
In 2003, the second Bodo Accord was signed by the extremist group Bodo Liberation Tiger Force (BLTF), the Centre and the state. This led to the creation of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), which is an autonomous body under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
The Council aims at bringing about accelerated progress to one of the most backward region of the state of Assam with special focus on the development of the Bodo people in the fi eld of education, preservation of land rights, linguistic aspiration, culture and its ethnic identity.
