ABOUT ASHA
A community trust, run from within the community
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.
BACKGROUND
Where we work, and why it matters
Kachukata is a mid-sized village under the Chautara Milon Bazar VCDC, in the Gossaigaon Development Block of the Bodoland Territorial Region.
The village sits along the Gongia river drainage, where soil erosion and seasonal flooding eat into farmland year after year — shrinking the very ground families depend on for income. Divided into Kachukata Part I and Part II, it lies far from administrative centres, which makes locally rooted support all the more vital. AsHA exists to help this community hold its ground, literally and economically.
