WELCOME TO ALTRUISM SOCIETY HONOUR ASSISTANCE, AsHA

AsHA, which stands for Altruism Society Honour Assistance, is a public charitable trust established under the Indian Trust Act of 1882. Established in 2019, AsHA was created by a group of like-minded youths from the scenic village of Kachukata, located in the Gossaigaon Block of Kokrajhar district, Assam.

Driven by a shared mission to spark socioeconomic growth in our neighbourhood, AsHA has emerged as a symbol of hope in the face of hardship. Our journey began with a strong desire to address our community’s critical concerns, which was motivated by our founders’ enthusiasm and dedication.

Background of the Organization

AsHA is a public charitable trust which is located in Kachukata village of Kokrajhar district, Assam. Kachukata is a medium size village located under the Chautara Milon Bazar VCDC which is situated under ‘Gossaigaon Development Block’ of Bodo Territorial Region (BTR) of Assam, India. Kachukata village is located at 20 km distance from ‘Block office’ & 60 km away from ‘District Headquarters’ at Kokrajhar & 300 km away from ‘State Headquarters’ at Guwahati, Assam. The village is divided into two sections (Kachukata part –I and Kachukata part- II).
Surprisingly, some of areas near Kachukata village are severely affected by flood every year and soil erosion takes place. Here, Gongia River drainage system is the main reason for continuous soil erosion & flood. Consequently, the agriculture based working time period had to be restricted for 8 months instead of 12 months a year. The permanent inhabitants of the place need to shift their houses at the time of/pre/during/post flood. Therefore, it is very difficult to reach out the families in a required time and systematic manner. Due to flood, the livelihood activities are severely affected; so the families are bounded to migrate to upper Assam and other places of state/country in search of work. Also, the educational system is improper as there are limited teachers in schools and not as per the government teacher- student ratio.
