The launch took place during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Gauhati High Court , marking 75 years of the institution's judicial service in the Northeast region . While the question uses the phonetic spelling 'Bhoruksa' , the official name of the application is 'Bhoroxa' , which translates to 'Trust' or 'Reliance' in the local language, symbolizing the state's commitment to protecting vulnerable citizens. Additional Information President of India: As the Head of State , the President's involvement in the launch highlighted the national importance of women's safety initiatives .

Gauhati High Court: Established in 1948 , it originally had jurisdiction over the Seven Sister States of Northeast India. Today, its jurisdiction covers Assam , Nagaland , Mizoram , and Arunachal Pradesh . Incorrect Entities: The Home Minister , Prime Minister , and Chief Justice of India were not the primary dignitaries who officially launched this specific mobile application during the April 2023 event at the high court premises.
