Since the time of his school days,he was active with the Bodo Student's Union and their activities in various social-political movements in Assam. During that time of his school days,there was the beginning of the 'Great Mass Movement' for the separation of Bodoland as a state,under the leadership of then-President of ABSU,Late Upendra Nath Brahma since 1987. As an active student leader in the field of social movements,he had actively joined the movement along with the fellow students.
His involvement with the mass movement didn't end there,in the latter days when he joined college,he was elected as the President of ABSU,Kamrup District Committee in the year 1997. He was given greater responsibility as a Central Committee member of All Bodo Students Union. He actively worked as the Assistant General Secretary and as the Vice President of the Union before he was elevated to the position of President in the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU). Before he became the President he had actively worked with the Union at the forefront carrying out massive Educational awareness amongst the mass of Bodo people in the entire Assam. During the presidency of Rwn Gwra Narzary at the central,they started a program called ‘Year of Education’in 2006,later it continued as the ‘Mission Quality Education’from 2007. Extensively with an action plan to improve the standard,accessibility,and quality education among the Bodo students in the state.
He was elected as the President of the All Bodo Students Union in 2009,at the Annual Conference held at Thelamara in Sonitpur district of Assam. Ever since he became the President of the Union,he tirelessly dedicated himself to serve the society with a voluntary zeal. His prime importance towards his responsibility was to bring permanent peace to the Bodoland region and to bring change in the society where every human being can live with full freedom and have the right to education and development.
His focus was to establish peace in the region ever since he got the momentum with the observance of 'Arms and Violence Free Society's foundation day observed by ABSU on 15 February 2009. Connecting all the major events observed by the Union as 'Anti Terrorism Day' on 30 July (Since 1996). However,the Bodos being stricken by many education-socio-economic and political issues the Bodo community was not free from various movements in the state.
In December 2010,when the Congress-led UPA II government announced to create a separate state as Telangana,under the presidency of Pramod Boro the ABSU raised its voice,"If Telangana why not Bodoland". Under the leadership of Pramod Boro as the President,from 2010 onwards the agitation to revive the Bodoland Statehood was decided,and started again as the third phase from 2 March 2010,with a huge mass gathering at Kajalgaon Rural Stadium.
He spearheaded this third phase of the Bodoland Movement,where he got a huge response from the Mass. He proposed the Bodoland region boundary from Sonkosh in the West to Sadiya in the East.
He has become the fifth Chief Executive Member (CEM) of BTC. He became the longest-serving President of ABSU from 2009 to 2020 (Feb). Under his leadership,in the long Bodoland Movement,there were many upheavals in Bodo politics,ABSU faced many criticisms and threats. Despite such situations,Pramod Boro has boldly continued the effort to bring permanent peace in the region.
Since 2005,the NDFB has come to a ceasefire with the Government of India and joined the peace process. Unfortunately,in 2008 it was split into two factions NDFB (P) and NDFB (S). Further in continuation of the peace process,the NDFB(P) headed the process of negotiation with the Government of India. During this process of negotiation,the momentum for a Separate Statehood for the Bodos as Bodoland by this armed revolutionary faction got air once again.
Pramod Boro continued to lead the movement along with other leaders of the NDFB(P) in democratic ways such as Mass Gatherings,Seminars,Railway and National Highway Blocked and Indefinite Hunger Strikes. All events were held in the Bodoland region as well as in New Delhi at different times.
This development for a solution to the issue has culminated in the signing of the third Bodo Accord on 27 January 2020 along with all the factions of NDFB. This accord has paved the new dawn of hope for the Bodos and people of Assam.
This was a very historic moment for the Bodos and its leaderships coming into a Memorandum of Settlement with the Government of India and Assam. This Accord was welcomed from all sections of people and organizations across the country. A hope for permanent peace was foreseen through this accord as all four factions of the armed revolutionary NDFB had signed this MoS and decided to shun the armed revolution and return to the mainstream.
This MoS was welcomed by more than 7 lakhs people on 7 February 2020 at Kokrajhar,where the Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi took part and expressed the willingness to implement fully this historic third Bodo Accord and he asserted it to be as the Peace Accord also. In this massive gathering,the Prime Minister of India stated the MoS as the National Commitment to the people of the Bodoland Territorial Region.
