Bodoland Development Foundation

We’re the Bodoland Development Foundation, and you can find us in Udalguri Ward No-2. Our office is right near the post office and the police station, so it’s pretty easy to give people directions when they’re looking for us. We’ve been in this spot for quite a while now. Udalguri is a good place, and we like being right in the middle of town where everything is happening. The office itself is just a basic room with a few wooden benches and a heavy old table. It gets a bit dusty because of all the traffic on the main road, but we try to keep it clean. We don't have any big corporate goals or mission statements pinned to the wall. We just look at what the people in Ward No-2 need and try to help them out. Sometimes that means helping with local paperwork and other times it’s just listening to someone’s problems. We don't have a big budget, so we have to be careful with how we spend every bit of money we get. Most of our work is done through just talking to people face to face. We don't really use social media much. We’d rather spend our time out in the community. It’s a simple life, and the work can be slow, but it feels right to be doing it here. We’re just a group of local people who want to see Udalguri do well, anyway, and we’re doing our best to help.
