Karbi Dimanchal Bill"2005

The term "Karbi Dimanchal Bill" refers to a bill that was introduced in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India's Parliament) with the aim of creating a separate Autonomous State within the state of Assam to be known as Karbi Dimanchal.
​Here are the key points available about it:
​Formal Title: It was formally titled "The Assam Reorganisation (Karbi Dimanchal) Bill, 2016" (No 145 of 2016).
​Objective: The bill proposed the formation of an Autonomous State within Assam, fulfilling a long-standing demand for 'Statehood' by the people living in Assam's hill districts (Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao).
​Status: As of 2019, the bill was listed as Pending in Parliament.
​Recent Development: Separately, the Assam Assembly recently passed the Karbi Welfare Autonomous Council Bill, 2025, which aims to establish a welfare council for the Karbi people residing outside the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council area. This separate council is meant to address the social, cultural, and developmental needs of the Karbis in other districts of Assam like Kamrup, Nagaon, and Morigaon, as part of a previous Memorandum of Settlement to ensure focused development for the Karbi people outside the Sixth Schedule area.
