Ndfb Agreement
The NDFB agreement is a historic accord signed between the Government of India and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) on 27th January 2020. The agreement was signed in the presence of the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, and top leaders of the NDFB.
The NDFB is a militant group in Assam, India, which has been fighting for a separate Bodoland state for more than three decades. The NDFB was formed in the late 1980s and has been involved in several violent incidents in Assam, resulting in the loss of many lives.
The NDFB agreement is a significant step towards resolving the long-standing conflict in Assam and bringing peace to the region. The agreement provides for the creation of a new autonomous council for the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) in Assam. The council will have more powers than the existing Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), which was created in 2003 under the provisions of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India.
The new council will have control over law and order, local governance, and management of natural resources in the BTR. The agreement also provides for the rehabilitation of NDFB cadres who surrender their arms and join the mainstream. The cadres will be provided with a one-time financial grant, vocational training, and employment opportunities.
The NDFB agreement is a significant achievement for the government and the people of Assam. It is a result of years of negotiations and discussions between the government and the NDFB leadership. The agreement is expected to bring stability to the region, attract investment and development, and promote the welfare of the people of the BTR.
In conclusion, the NDFB agreement is a historic accord that has the potential to bring lasting peace to the Bodoland Territorial Region in Assam. The agreement provides for the creation of a new autonomous council with more powers than the existing BTC, and the rehabilitation of NDFB cadres who surrender their arms and join the mainstream. The agreement is a significant achievement for the government and the people of Assam and is expected to bring economic and social development to the region.
