Kokrajhar: BTC Chief Pramod Boro on Tuesday unveiled a grand statue of the ‘Bard of Brahmaputra’ Dr. Bhupen Hazarika at Sudhakantha Kanan in Assam’s Kokrajhar, marking the death anniversary of the iconic cultural figure.

The event also saw the launch of a souvenir titled ‘Bhupendra Baibhav’ in his honour.

In his address, BTC Chief Pramod Boro emphasized that the statue is more than just a tribute to Dr. Bhupen Hazarika. “It represents the enduring spirit of unity, collective growth, and social harmony,” he said.

Reflecting on Dr. Bhupen Hazarika’s immense contributions to Assamese music, culture, and social integration, Boro highlighted the BTC government’s ongoing efforts to foster unity in diversity.

He spoke about the need to preserve the distinct identities of all communities in Bodoland, while also ensuring their active participation in the region’s socio-economic progress.

As part of this vision, Boro announced a series of development initiatives aimed at enhancing Bodoland’s socio-cultural landscape.

Key announcements included the construction of a statue of renowned cultural icon Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha in Tamulpur, and the establishment of a Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Bhawan in Baksa with an investment of over Rs 10 crore.

Furthermore, Boro extended support for the translation of over 200 songs by Dr. Bhupen Hazarika into the Bodo language, a project that will be carried out in Kokrajhar.

Assam Minister for Textiles and Guardian Minister of Kokrajhar, UG Brahma, also addressed the gathering, praising Dr. Bhupen Hazarika’s timeless legacy. He spoke about BTC’s commitment to preserving the cultural identity of the region, while promoting harmony and collaboration across Bodoland’s diverse communities.

Former President of the Assam Sahitya Sabha and ex-DGP, Kuladhar Saikia, lauded the efforts to bring this vision to fruition. He described the statue as a powerful symbol of humanity and a reminder of Dr. Hazarika’s global influence, which transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.
