The two councils are among Assam’s six Statutory Autonomous Councils, which have been constituted to promote the social, economic, educational, ethnic and cultural development of Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities living in designated core and satellite areas across several districts of the state.
These autonomous councils are intended to support the development and preservation of the communities they represent, including their social and cultural interests.
