Gandhi Ashram Trust

The establishment of Gandhi Ashram Trust is rooted with the ‘Peace Mission’ of Mahatma Gandhi immediate after the communal riot in 1946 at Noakhali. Gandhi stayed for about four months in the riot stricken areas. He started moving around the villages and motivates the people of his peaceful co-existence and non-violence philosophy. The day was 29^th January 1947 when Gandhiji came to Jayag and all sphere of life greeted him with whole-hearted support.

At that time, Barrister Hemanta Kumar Gosh of the village donated all his resources to Mahatma for the development and peace of the area and “Ambika Kaliganga Charitable Trust” was formed. The office of the Gandhi Peace Mission, formerly known as Gandhi Camp, was shifted to the present campus of Jayag. The Gandhi Camp started working for both peace and charitable functions and it continues till partition of India.

After the partition, especially after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, most of the Gandhi followers left Noakhali except a few. The non-secular government of Pakistan come-up with oppression to the Gandhians and majority of them were in jail for almost the lifetime of Pakistan. The properties of the Trust were forcefully taken away by some land gravers and anti-social elements. The activities of the Trust were not possible. The Team manager of Peace Mission Mr. Charu Chowdhury was detained in jail for several times and finally for 1963-71. He was released in 1971 after independence of Bangladesh.

Charu Chowdhury started re-organizing the Ashram in the newly independent Bangladesh and released land and properties from the land gravers. It tooks final shape with the Gazette notification of Bangladesh Government where “Ambika Kaliganga Charitable Trust” was renamed as “Gandhi Ashram Trust”. A committee representing from both Bangladesh and Indian Government was formed to run the activities of the Trust.

Rajshahi – The Green City, Silk City & Most Attractions

Once, Rajshahi’s sweltering summers were made worse by a familiar problem on the Asian subcontinent: windows would have to be shut, not because of the wind or monsoon, but because of the smog.

Dust blown up from dry riverbeds, fields and roads, and choking smog from ranks of brick kilns on the edge of town helped to secure the place a spot in the top tier of the world’s most polluted cities.

Then suddenly Rajshahi, in Bangladesh, hit a turning point so dramatic that it earned a spot in the record books: last year, according to UN data, the town did more than any other worldwide to rid itself of air particles so harmful to human health.

Birishiri, Netrokona – A day long tour

ঘুড়ে আসুন অপরূপ শ্বেত শুভ্র চিনামাটির পাহাড়ের পাদদেশ বিরিশিরিতে ।

নেত্রকোনা (Netrokona) জেলার উত্তর প্রান্তে গারো পাহাড়ের পাদদেশের এক জনপদের নাম। যেখানে বয়ে গেছে টলটলে জলের সোমেশ্বরী (someshwari river) আর দিগন্ত হারিয়েছে আকাশ ছোঁয়া সবুজ পাহাড়ে। ছোট্ট একটি জায়গার পরতে পরতে বেড়ানোর মতো অনেক জায়গা রয়েছে দুর্গাপুরে (Durgapur)। আদিবাসী সাংস্কৃতিক একাডেমি  দুর্গাপুরের (Durgapur) বিরিসিরি (Birishiri) ইউনিয়নে অবস্থিত আদিবাসী সাংস্কৃতিক একাডেমি। এ অঞ্চলে বসবাসকারী ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর জীবন যাত্রার নানা নিদর্শন সংরক্ষিত আছে এখানে। বিরিশিরিসহ সুসং দুর্গাপুর (Durgapur) ও এর আশপাশের উপজেলা কলমাকান্দা, পূর্বধলা, হালুয়াঘাট এবং ধোবাউড়ায় রয়েছে গারো, হাজং, কোচ, ডালু, বানাই প্রভৃতি ক্ষুদ্র নৃগোষ্ঠীর বসবাস। এদের জীবনধারা যেমন বৈচিত্র্যময়, তেমনি বৈচিত্র্যময় এদের সংস্কৃতিও।

কি আছে এখানে (Birishiri, Netrokona)

• ঢাকা থেকে রওনা দিয়ে নেত্রকোনার (Netrokona) দুর্গাপুর (Durgapur) উপজেলার বিরিশিরি (Birishiri) ভ্রমন করার জন্য চমৎকার একটি জায়গা। এখানে অসংখ্য লাল, গোলাপী, বেগুনী চিনামাটির পাহাড় রয়েছে। পাহাড় চূড়ায় গড়ে ওঠা মিশনটির পূর্বপাশ দিয়ে বয়ে যাওয়া খরস্রোতা পাহাড়ী নদীর নাম – সোমেশ্বরী (someshwari river)। পা বাড়ালেই ওপারে ভারতের মেঘালয় রাজ্য।
• সোমেশ্বর নদী (someshwari river) দেখতে খুবই চমৎকার। নদী পার হয়েই রিক্সায় যেতে হয় বিজয়পুর সাদামাটির পাহাড়ে। এখানে রয়েছে বিজয়পুর সাদামাটির অঞ্চল, রানীঘং মিশন, বিজিবি ক্যাম্প, রামকৃষ্ঞ মিশন। সাদামাটির পাহাড় থেকে মাটি নিয়েই বাংলাদেশের সিরামিক কোম্পানীগুলো চলে। পাহাড়ি রাস্তায় চোখে পড়বে আদিবাসিদের যাতায়াত। নারী আর শিশুই বেশী। পিঠে ঝুড়ি নিয়ে তারা যাচ্ছে সীমান্তের বাজারে। রানীঘং যাওয়ার পথে পড়বে রাশমনি হাজং স্মৃতিসৌধ।
• বিজয়পুর পাহাড়  রাশমণি স্মৃতিসৌধ থেকে প্রায় দেড় কিলোমিটার দূরে বিজয়পুরে আছে চীনা মাটির পাহাড়। এখান থেকে চীনা মাটি সংগ্রহের ফলে পাহাড়ের গায়ে সৃষ্টি হয়েছে ছোট ছোট পুকুরের মতো গভীর জলাধার। পাহাড়ের গায়ে স্বচ্ছ জলাধারগুলো দেখতে চমত্কার।
• এছাড়াও দূর্গাপুর (Durgapur) থেকে ৬ কিলোমিটার উত্তর সীমান্তে পাহাড়ের চুড়ায় রানীখং গীর্জা অবস্থিত। এই পাহাড়ের চুড়া থেকে বিরিশিরির (Birishiri) সৌন্দর্য যেন অন্য মাত্রা পায়।
