AshaGram Trust, Barwani

What AshaGram Trust, Barwani does

AshaGram Trust is a charitable nonprofit organization established on July 13, 1983 in the Barwani district headquarters of Madhya Pradesh, India, in a tribal-dominated region. It provides holistic rehabilitation services across multiple beneficiary groups — 89 leprosy patients and their families in residential care, persons with disabilities served through the District Disability Rehabilitation Centre, 50 mentally challenged children in residential education under Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan, 11 destitute elderly at the Apna Ghar old age home (capacity 25), 116 nursing students enrolled in the Asha Institute of Nursing (3-year GNM diploma), 7,158 rural children served through 9 Isha Vidhya schools, and drug addicts receiving de-addiction treatment. Operations are consolidated on a 35-acre self-contained campus with 1,257 trees, residential wards, a hospital, schools, and an agricultural/orchard area.

The Trust's portfolio comprises eight core programs: Asha Bal Mandir residential school (with Catholic Church, Barwani as operating partner), Asha Institute of Nursing, Asha Bunkar Weaver Cooperative (producing handwoven durries), District Disability Rehabilitation Centre, Apna Ghar old age home, Drug De-Addiction Centre (IRCA-funded), COVID-19 Care Centre, and a residential facility for intellectually disabled children. There is no proprietary technology product; the underlying 'platform' is a physical campus ecosystem and a network of government scheme partnerships rather than a software stack.

Revenue is sourced from four streams: government grants (Social Justice Department maintenance payments of INR 1,000/beneficiary/month for leprosy rehabilitation, plus ADIP, IRCA, and National Trust scheme funding), online donations through the website, product sales from the weaving cooperative (sold on a no-profit-no-loss basis), and educational fees from nursing students. The Trust is governed by trustees including Vice President Hiralal Sharma and Secretary Dr. Shivnarayan Yadav, with 18-21 staff currently working against approved positions. It has received multiple national and state-level awards including the 2006 Institutional National Award from the President of India and the 2001 National Award for Welfare of Disabled Persons.
