DNBTA — Delhi NCR Boro Thunlai Afad

Mission and Vision

The Delhi NCR Boro Thunlai Afad (DNBTA) is conceived to foster love for the language and literature of the Boro with a mission to uphold the rich cultural heritage of the Boro people. Having lived historically across different parts of Assam, Tripura, West Bengal, Bangladesh and Nepal to form their own lifeways, today the Boro people in Assam are well-known for successfully preserving the traditional culture of the community.

The Vision of Delhi NCR Boro Thunlai Afad is to see Boro language and literature recognized internationally. DNBTA aims to teach Boro language to diaspora children, conduct cultural workshops and facilitate cultural dialogues in the capital region.

Founding of DNBTA

On 1st October 2023, Boro intellectuals and social activists gathered at Bodoland Bhawan, Dwarka Sector 18/A, New Delhi to discuss the need of an association to work for the development, preservation and promotion of language, literature and culture of the great Boro Hari (Boro People).

The executive committee was constituted with Dr. Nirala Ramchiary as President, Dr. Alongbar Wary as Vice President, Mr. Hemanta Swargiary as General Secretary, and other dedicated members committed to preserving Boro heritage in the national capital.
