A. ================================================= Abstract Language in India www.languageinindia.com 12 : 12 December 2012 Kusum Brahma, M. A. History of the Recognition of Bodo Language as Medium of Instruction in Assam 55 The Bodo are known as earliest indigenous inhabitants of Brahmaputra valley. They were the dominant people group of Assam till the Ahom came to Assam. Racially they are of Mongoloid origin and linguistically they belong to Tibeto-Burman family of Bodo-Naga sub- group. But this important people group has no written record about their past educational system as well as the development of their language. Because of the lack of written mode their language remained confined to spoken form till the twentieth century. In this paper an attempt is made to analyse the historical development of Bodo language as medium of instruction in Assam. Introduction Bodos are known as the earliest indigenous inhabitants of Brahmaputra valley. They were a dominant people group of Assam. They had their own kingdoms, religion, culture and language. In earlier times, they were not known by the name of the Bodos, they were known by different names in different times and different ages.

However, the recent declining trend in investment credit vis-à-vis crop loan has serious implications for sustaining capital formation. The theme selected for the PLP 2015-16 is “Accelerating the pace of capital formation in agriculture and allied sector”. The PLP maps the potential in priority sectors which could be exploited with institutional credit within a specified time frame. PLP are intended to provide a meaningful direction to the flow of credit to different sectors at the ground level taking into account all relevant factors. The various linkage and other support required to be provided by line departments to facilitate credit flow as planned are also listed in the PLP. II. Kokrajhar district is one of the four districts of the Bodoland Territorial Autonomous Districts (BTAD).
