On the invitation of Bishop Patrick D’Souza, Varanasi diocese, Prem Ashram was opened 22 August 1972.

​

Dumrikhas village is situated in Sardarnagar in Gorakhpur, eastern Uttar Pradesh. The village was underdeveloped, socially, economically, educationally and culturally. The sisters started adult literacy classes for men and women at night. Women were encouraged to come together and get help from the block for their economic development.

​

The sisters now foster women’s groups, manage a boarding for girls, organise skills training and income generating programs for the community, and awareness/aid programs for children with disabilities. A clinic, opened in 1973 and later closed, was reopened on 4 October 2023.
