All Bodo Students Union (ABSU)

            The primary objective of the organisation was to unite the Bodos for the presentation of their rich cultural heritage. ABSU paid more attention to the development of Bodo Society in the beginning, but for various social and political reasons the organisation had to associate itself with different movements. Many other organisations also supported the movements started by ABSU. Immediately after Upendra Nath Brahma got elected as the president in 1986, ABSU got a new dimension. The Union got directly involved in a political movement demanding a separate State. It submitted a memorandum to the central and state governments consisting of a 92-point charter of demands.

            ABSU, the main and most powerful force behind the Bodo movements is still carrying on its work protecting the Bodo race and the Society
