Gandhi Ashram Trust

[1] Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's visit in 1947 to Noakhali, it has applied the Gandhian philosophy of rural development, peace and social harmony to uplift living conditions of the rural poor, especially women, in that area.

Initially set up by the original owner of the premises (Barrister Hemanta Kumar Ghose) that were subsequently gifted to GAT, the Ambika Kaliganga Charitable Trust had carried out charitable functions and started working for the 1946 riot victims of Noakhali.

Under Pakistani rule, the Trust could not continue its activities due to the policies of the then government.

Currently, the main focus of Gandhi Ashram Trust is the development of better standards of living, both material and eternal.

Education, women's empowerment, and clean drinking water are the main areas in which the organisation is active.
