Overview
- Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Friday that the 2021 Karbi Peace Accord has sped up development in Karbi Anglong and helped shift the district from years of insurgency toward lasting harmony.
- The agreement was signed in New Delhi in 2021 by the Centre, the Assam government and five Karbi groups and built a framework for demobilisation, rehabilitation and political measures.
- Key accord provisions include rehabilitation and resettlement for former cadres, greater administrative and political powers for the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, and a targeted development package for infrastructure and tribal welfare.
- Officials say hundreds of cadres laid down arms after the pact and entered resettlement and reintegration programmes that the state now aims to back with youth, art and local entrepreneurship schemes.
- The anniversary statements and agency reports relay a government assessment of progress but do not provide independent on‑the‑ground evaluations of remaining implementation gaps or community impacts.
