Gandhi Ashram Trust: A Sanctuary of Peace and Service
Discover the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi at the Gandhi Ashram Trust in Noakhali, a sanctuary of peace promoting rural development, social harmony, and community empowerment.
The Gandhi Ashram Trust in Noakhali, Bangladesh, stands as a living testament to Mahatma Gandhi's commitment to peace, social harmony, and rural development. Established in 1946 following Gandhi's visit to the riot-stricken region, the Ashram embodies his philosophy of non-violence and service to humanity. Originally the home of barrister Hemanta Kumar Ghosh, who donated his property to the cause, the Ashram has evolved into a multifaceted organization dedicated to uplifting the lives of the rural poor, particularly women. Visitors can explore the Gandhi Memorial Museum, which houses a collection of rare photographs, books, and personal artifacts that chronicle Gandhi's life and work. The serene surroundings and historical significance of the Ashram offer a unique opportunity to reflect on Gandhi's enduring legacy and the ongoing efforts to promote peace and social justice in Bangladesh. The Ashram's work extends beyond its historical significance, actively engaging in education, women's empowerment, and providing access to clean drinking water, making it a vital center for community development.
