Former ABSU leaders and intellectuals will reflect on his work and explore ways to uphold his legacy. Another key discussion will focus on peace, unity, and sustainable development in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) and Assam, with an emphasis on fostering cooperation among communities.

ABSU President Dipen Boro underscored the importance of the event, stating, "This conference is a step toward progress, bringing together ideas that can drive real change. Education and empowerment go hand in hand, shaping a future where opportunities are accessible to all."

The four-day event will also feature sports tournaments, literary competitions, a cultural evening, and an exhibition-cum-book fair showcasing Bodo heritage. Several key venues, named after eminent personalities, will be inaugurated to honour their contributions. A marathon and traditional performances will add to the event’s vibrancy.

A felicitation ceremony will recognise Padma Shri recipient Dr. Anil Boro, Sahitya Akademi awardees, and high achievers in academics. Outstanding educators and successful candidates of the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) examinations will also be honoured.
