Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said that the discipline shown by the Bodo community of the state has enabled them to achieve success in different areas in the global arena.
The unique discipline has enabled them to put their brilliance at the world arena as the 56th session of Bodo Sahitya Sabha being held at Dhemaji bears testimony to this, said Sonowal speaking at the open session of the Sabha.
Pointing out Bodo Sahitya Sabha has taken a lead in the overall development of language and literature of Assam, Sonowal said Rupknowar Jyotiprasad Agarwala (first film maker of Assam) had set a target to take Assam to the world stage.
He called upon the young generation to take the responsibility to work rigorously for the promotion of language and literature of the state.
Sonowal said, "Literature is the mirror of a society. Culture, emotion, behaviour of a society manifest through literature. Bodo Sahitya Sabha has been working immensely for intellectual stimulation. The venue for Bodo Sahitya Sabha which has turned into a centre for integration and harmony would help to strengthen the greater Assamese society".
Sonowal said, "Assam is on the verge of taking a giant leap. The sons of the soil have taken a great role in forming this government and hence the present state Government is committed to work hard to bring about tangible changes in the lives of the people".
He also thanked the Sahitya Sabha representing different ethnicities for spontaneously participating in the Bodo Sahitya Sabha.
