Sri Ramkrishna Ashram Nimpith
The main motive of Sri Ramkrishna Ashram, Nimpith, was to help people by solving generic problems, like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, and illness. Over time, Nimpith Ashram worked on almost every possible problem. Swami Buddhanandaji Maharaj founded Sri Ramkrishna Ashram, Nimpith, in 1960. The goal was to serve the distressed, the deserted, and the destitute as adorable Shiva in the obscurity of the Sundarbans. The Ashram had virtually waged a ceaseless war against poverty, hunger, ignorance, and social injustice, though scanty were its resources. Know more here.
Contribution of Nimpith Ashram
Two schools were built for boys and girls, Nimpith Ramakrishna Vidyabhavan and Nimpith Sarada Vidyamandir. Like any other Ramkrishna Mission school, discipline is one of the key things to learn here. This culture further helps them to structure their lives. To help farmers, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra was established. Also, a hospital is available to provide basic and emergency treatment, although it lacks modern facilities. I do believe something is always better than nothing. In case of serious illness, they refer to hospitals and nursing homes in Kolkata, which is approximately 40 kilometers away. A lot of other infrastructure, like Janaklyan Kendra, Biotechnology lab, etc, is in place to help local livelihoods.
How to Reach Ramkrishna Ashram Nimpith
The nearest railway station is Joynagar Majilpur, a one & half hour journey from Sealdah Junction. From there Ashram is easily accessible within 15 minutes by Auto or bus. If you are planning to travel by road, take the Baruipur-Kulpi road. Reach the Joynagar Police station, from where the ashram is about 3 kilometers.
Environment & Places to visit nearby
Ramkrishna Ashram is a place where we can find peace. Whether sitting in the prayer hall or outside near the garden. No matter which Ashram it is, the same environment is the same in all Ashrams. I have been to this particular Ashram a couple of times, and each time I felt so calm. This place has become a tourist attraction point also due to Kaikhali, one of the gateways to the Sunderban. You can also visit the nearest Maa Sarada Ashram within a 10-minute walk.
As a tourist, we can visit the Ramkrishna Ashram prayer hall and, Krishi Vigyan Kendra garden area. The whole place will not take more than 45 minutes to cover. If you love to have bhog in Ashrams, you can get that too. You can pay Rs. 10 or more (as a donation per head), 12:15 PM onwards. Meal serving starts around 12:30 PM. Only two batches are scheduled per day, so be there on time.
