The Genesis of the School

Training for Peace Advocates

• The program encompassed a comprehensive curriculum, focusing on social issue-related laws, bias elimination, self-awareness, counseling methodologies, and stress management techniques.
• This visionary move by the Bodoland Territorial Council marks a significant step towards fostering a culture of peace and happiness amidst diversity.
