Assam: Preparation underway for Golden Jubilee Karbi Youth Festival

The Golden Jubilee celebration will be held from January 12 to January 19.

President Droupadi Murmu will attend the Golden Jubilee celebration of the Karbi Youth Festival 2024 on January 17 at Taralangso, Diphu, in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district and all preparations have been made by the organisers for the biggest cultural event.

The Golden Jubilee celebration will be held from January 12 to January 19.

The Karbi Cultural Society, which has been organising the Karbi Youth Festival, has made all preparations and arrangements for the 50th edition of the Festival.

As per inputs, at least 95 per cent of preparations for the 50th edition of the Karbi Youth Festival have been completed.

Starting in 1974 Karbi Youth Festival has been working to establish the Karbi culture, customs, indigenous games, foods and Karbi language on the global stage and has been trying to make a bond between all sections of people and religions through culture. This year marks the Golden Jubilee occasion of the festival.

This time, the organising committee has invited the embassies of five countries, renowned cultural activists, and resource persons from India and outside of India.

Karbi Anglong was hit by militancy for several decades and the Karbi Cultural Society had played a vital role in bringing a peaceful atmosphere to the hill district.

On September 4, 2021, the historic Karbi Anglong Agreement was signed on September 4, 2021, between the Central and State Governments of Assam and five insurgent groups in New Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
