An Attempt to promote
A New Social Order
Last 3,000 years, under male dominant societies, we witnessed: 5,000 Wars Thousands of million people lost their lives due to
war, terrorism and starvation. Damages to Mother Nature
Here is a humble attempt by the Gandhians to carry forward actions towards new social order with emerging women power, who are different from men in all aspects.

Who Are We? Vinobha Bhave, the spiritual heir of Gandhi,
started “Land gift movement” to bridge the gap between landlords and landless as Two out of three persons are dependent upon
land for their livelihoods and Majority are landless and small/marginal farmers,
living below poverty line He undertook a mission, treking 14 years across
the country in 1951 which enabled him to collect 4.38 million acres of land, as gift from the land holding peasants.
ASSEFA, with the blessings of Vinoba Bhave, continued the followup of the Movement since 1968 in rehabilitating the landless farmers.
Gradually, ASSEFA broadened its mission to bring in vulnerable under its fold for holistic development.
