Preserving the Heart of Assamese Heritage for the Next Generation

OAKOKHO — অআকখ — is dedicated to keeping the Assamese language, culture, and traditions alive for students and families across the world. Through structured classes, cultural programs, and community events, we connect the diaspora to their roots.

Why OAKOKHO Exists

Thousands of Assamese families across the world face a quiet challenge: their children grow up far from the land, language, and customs that define their identity.

OAKOKHO bridges that gap. We offer structured Assamese language classes, celebrate traditional festivals like Bihu, share stories, songs, and literature — everything it takes to keep a culture vibrant across generations and across oceans.

I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and best wishes to OAKOKHO. The school's commitment to providing quality education and fostering a sense of community is truly inspiring. It is evident that OAKOKHO plays a crucial role in nurturing a deeper connection to Assamese heritage and culture among its students. I extend my sincere congratulations to Chiranjit for his tireless efforts in creating an environment that encourages learning and appreciation. He has opened a remarkable gateway for Assamese children living in North America to reconnect with their roots through the learning of their mother tongue. May OAKOKHO continue to strive in its mission, and may the students benefit immensely from the invaluable education and experiences offered by the school. Wishing OAKOKHO continued success and growth in fostering a love for Assamese language and culture.

I'm incredibly grateful and happy for the outstanding Assamese language education that my child has received under the guidance of Chiranjit Bordoloi at OAKOKHO. Chiranjit goes beyond traditional teaching methods, making learning Assamese enjoyable and engaging for the students. He is very supportive, patient and always encourages his students. His passion for teaching the language is commendable. The website is very well designed and has many interesting and interactive study materials for students to explore. My son has not only improved his language skills, but has also developed a genuine interest in Assamese culture. I'm very pleased with the positive impact Chiranjit has had on my child's language education.
