We Are Building a School With And For Our Community

Karunar Kheti Trust, which in Assamese means the The Cultivation Of Compassion Trust, is a start-up non-profit Trust founded on July 30, 2019 and is rooted in Boisahabi Tea Estate that is located in the Selenghat area of Assam's Jorhat district.

​

Our overarching objective is to work with the rural communities of Assam, in particular its dominant social fabric spun by tea-plantation and traditional village communities, for empowerment based on the interconnected areas of education, healthcare, and livelihood.

​​

Our Trust's concept note presents a comprehensive introduction to our trust, ranging from our deepest motivation to the details of the emergent plans of action and their related set of resources. Our website, at this start-up phase, is extremely basic compared to the richness of our work on the ground, the most important milestones of which we keep updated on our social media links, particularly Facebook and LinkedIn.

​​

We are currently on the first stepping-stone in our landscape of thought-action: Selenghat Valley School is a school that we are building with our community in a collective effort to provide empowering education for our children. It is truly a school being built by the people and for the people.

​

Our school opened on January 20, 2020 with 80 children in grades Nursery, LKG, and UKG, and we continue to add a higher grade every year. The school is currently in the process of obtaining the required registrations from the Assam state government's Block Education Officer (BEO) and District Education Officer (DEO).  

​

Donations made to Karunar Kheti Trust are qualified for deduction under section 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and also qualify for CSR contributions.

​

Please stay tuned as we are also working to build and update this site, and our social media links, with all relevant information.​
