Amalprava Das, also known as Amal Prabha Das, (1911–1994) was an Indian social worker, Gandhian and the founder of Kasturba Ashram at Sarania Hills, Assam, a self help group for women and their economic upliftment and Guwahati Yubak Sevadal, a non governmental organization working for the social development of harijans.
[1][4] She continued her studies to gain a diploma in clinical pathology and refused a teaching job at the British run Cotton College citing patriotic reasons.
[1] In 1934 Das had an opportunity to interact with Mahatma Gandhi when the leader of the Indian freedom movement stayed at her house during a visit to Guwahati.
Under the aegis of the ashram, she organized training for the womenfolk of the village in cottage industries so that they might become financially self-reliant.
[3] She also founded several institutions such as Gram Sevika Vidyalaya, Kasturba Kalyan Kendra, Gauhati Katai Mandal, Guwahati Yubak Sevadal and Assam Go-Seva Samiti.
