Ashankhyadeep Social Development Foundation

Ashankhyadeep Social Development Foundation is based at Anant Chaudhary’s place. We are out in Dariyapur, which is part of the Kudhani and Ladaura area. It’s a very rural setting compared to the big cities. The address is a bit hard to find if you aren't from around here, as it’s tucked away in the Kafen region. Our office is just a simple room with a couple of chairs and a wooden desk. We don't have high-speed internet or fancy office furniture. We mostly deal with people from the nearby villages who walk in to talk to us. It’s a very face-to-face kind of operation. We spend a lot of time drinking tea and listening to what people have to say. Anant is usually around, and he knows everyone in the area. We don't have a website that we update every day or a social media manager. We just have our notebooks and our phones. The air is fresh out here, which is nice, but it can get very dusty when the tractors go by. We don't have a formal dress code; most of us just wear what we’d wear to the market. It’s an honest way to live and work. We don't make big promises or use complicated words. We just try to help out with local development in whatever way we can manage each day. It’s a humble life, but it suits us well.
