Founded in 2001, Assam Moran Sabha (AMS) is the apex socio-cultural and political organisation of the Moran indigenous community of Assam, India.
The Sabha works tirelessly for the constitutional recognition of the Moran tribe, the preservation of Moran language and culture, community development, and the welfare of over five lakh Moran people spread across Assam.
The Moran people are one of the oldest indigenous communities of Assam, with historical records dating back to the Ahom kingdom era. The Morans made significant contributions to the Ahom empire and fought valiantly against the invaders of their land.
Despite their rich heritage, the Moran community has long been seeking rightful recognition as a Scheduled Tribe under the Indian Constitution. The demand for ST status has been the central movement of the community for decades.
Assam Moran Sabha was established on 15 January 2001 in Dibrugarh to serve as the unified voice of the Moran people. Since its inception, the Sabha has submitted numerous memorandums to the Central and State Government demanding ST status.
The organisation has also undertaken significant work in documenting Moran history, promoting the Moran dialect, organising cultural festivals, and providing legal aid to community members across all 22 Moran-populated districts of Assam.
