The Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) is a territorial privilege established in India according to the Memorandum of Settlement〔Full text ''(Memorandum of Settlement on Bodoland Territorial Council )'', February 10, 2003, signed by Government of India, Government of Assam and Bodo Liberation Tigers〕 of February 10, 2003. BTC came into existence immediately after surrender of Bodo Liberation Tigers Force (BLTF) cadres. The BLTF laid down their weapons on December 6, 2003 under the leadership of Hagrama Mohilary and Hagrama was sworn in as the Chief Executive Member (CEM) on December 7, 2003. The BTC has 46 executive members each looking after a specific area of control called somisthi. The area under the BTC jurisdiction is called the Bodoland Territorial Area District (BTAD). BTC constitutes 70% of marginalised Tribal groups like Bodos, Rabhas, Garos, etc. who are against the hegemony of Assam government. The region falls within the geographical map of least developed region in India. The agro-based economy is the only source of livelihood of the people. Industrialisation and other employment opportunities are hardly to been. The BTAD is to consist of four contiguous districts — Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang — carved out of seven existing districts — Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Barpeta, Nalbari, Kamrup, Darrang and Sonitpur — an area of 27,100 km² (35% of Assam).〔Prabhakar M. S. (2003). ''(Territories of fear )''. Frontline, 20:24, November 22, 2003.〕 That the BTAD is created under the sixth schedule of the Constitution of India has been opposed by some organizations.〔Patowary, Ajit (2003).
