Brief History
Sisters of the congregation of Daughters of the Heart of Mary from Bombay province were invited in 1995 to the diocese for development and education of illiterate girls and women and to strengthen and give new orientation to the ministry of adult literacy, organizing the rural women for self-help projects. In the beginning Sr. Agnes alone worked staying at Social Service Centre, Kathgodam, organizing the work at Amariya block. Later two more Sisters joined her and began staying at a rented house at Amariya till the present land was purchased and house was built which was blessed on 3.7.2002 to train the illiterate girls and to organize women’s groups and their training. A new training centre was built and was blessed on 19-12-2002.
