Along with whole Indian communities even Bodo Communities have underwent changes and taken up several occupations. #In early days Bodo tribes practiced farming and cultivation. Rice farming, tea plantation, pig & poultry farming, Silkworm Rearing is a major occupation of any Bodo Tribe. They have also developed in the years the art of craftsmanship by creating several products from bamboo. #Weaving is also the popular occupation among Bodos. In very early age girls of Bodo Tribe learn the art of weaving.

#We the Bodo  people  are  fundamentally nature worshippers.  We are believer  in  the  hidden  power  of  the  nature  which  can  strongly  dominate  the  social  life.  The  nature  is  the  cause of  peace  and sorrow.  #This  simple  belief  made  us pick  up  'SIJOU'  plant  (euphorbia splendens) a  cactus  of  five  debries  with  pairs  of  short  thorns  as  the  symbol of soul with  the  key  power  to   steer  the  whole  body  organs.  Thus  in the  made  believe  of the  god  as  almighty  in  Bodo  society  there  is  no  personality  cult  .  Bestowed  with  logical  and  reasoning  power  We the #Bodo  people  are  most  successful  to  invent  the  five principles  of  life   called  'BATHOU'  in  Bodo.
