Bengali Language Movement (Barak Valley)


Language martyrs

Language Martyr's Memorial at Silchar Railway Station

Silchar saw one of the uprisings in favour of the Bengali language. When the Assam government, under Chief Minister Bimala Prasad Chaliha, passed a circular to make Assamese mandatory, Bengalis of Barak Valley protested. On 19 May 1961, when Assam police opened fire on unarmed protesters at Silchar Railway Station, 11 agitators died. After the popular revolt, the Assam government had to withdraw the circular and Bengali was ultimately given official status in the three districts of Barak Valley

In this Cluster when we observe  various  program  of SSA like  UTSAV BIDYARAMBHA , RONGMELA , Etc. the people comes  and  join  with us  willingly  , When we visit  their  home  for   student  admission (nam  bharti abhiyan ) they gives much response to  us  . All the woman are interested  to be  a member of  SMC  or Mothers Group .
