The Koch community, spanning India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, holds rich cultural assets, including oral traditions and ecological wisdom, which can enhance curricula. Recognizing the Koch Rajbongshi as a Scheduled Tribe and including their language in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution would aid in preserving their heritage.
