Assam is a land of unity in diversity where people of different castes, tribes, social groups and religions live together and among all the tribes, the Bodos are considered as the largest ethnolinguistic group in Assam. The Bodos comprising almost half of the state’s tribal population in Assam. It is very significant that development of the Bodo society is dependent on both men and women. For welfare of the tribal women the Assam government has made various developmental schemes and programmes and also takes many legal initiatives. Though many legal provisions are made for welfare and protection of tribal women but in true sense, these schemes are unable to achieve its goals fully. It is also observed that in the districts of Assam in where majority people are from Bodo community such as Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri, Chirang, the female literacy rate is low in comparison to the male literacy rate according to census report 2011. The previous research studies also reveal that Bodo women are lagging behind in many developmental aspects in comparison to the other social groups of Assam. It is true that if women can’t be freed from illegalities, social bondage, superstitious beliefs and orthodox then a truly developed society is not possible. In this regard, the role of education is considered as significant because social awareness, decision-making skills, knowledge of better health and hygiene, taking responsibilities, taking legal actions any illegality etc. all are the qualities directly or indirectly influenced by education. Through this field-based research study it is tried to study about social empowerment of Bodo women and the issues confronting by them.
