Abstract
The Sonowal Kachari are one of the indigenous tribal groups of Assam. They are a sub-group of the Bodo community and are considered the third-largest tribe in Assam in terms of population. The settlements of the Sonowal Kachari people are scattered across the districts of Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Sivasagar, Jorhat, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, and parts of the state of Arunachal Pradesh in Northeast India. They are of Mongoloid origin, and linguistically, the Sonowal Kachari people belong to the Tibetan language family. They have their own distinct culture, customs, and traditions, which set them apart from other communities. This article focuses on the educational status of the Sonowal Kachari people living under the jurisdiction of the Maithong Gaon Panchayat. The Maithong Gaon Panchayat falls under the Kakopather Development Block, under the administrative sub-division of Doomdooma, Tinsukia.
Keywords: Sonowal Kachari, inhabitant area, educational status of the community.
