Sarada Sangha : is run by women (not the Ashrama workers) for the purpose of teaching vocational skills like sewing, embroidery, knitting, to teenage girls. Handicrafts are also taught by experienced teachers who have mastered their subject. Several sewing machines have been donated and are used in village uplift work also. The girls learn to make dolls and toys which can be sold for personal income. The woman teachers are all devotees or admirers of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda and Ma Sarada.

Spiritual and Cultural Programmes : Besides Prayers, Worship of God, Celebration of Holy Festivals of India and the birthdays of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sari Saradadevi, and Swami Vivekananda, guest speakers and holy monks are invited to the Ashrama to give lectures, conduct musical programmes and spiritual retreats from time to time. Through their help the Ashrama has been able to take some of the annual celebrations of festivals into the villages around Chapra. As India's 'NATIONAL YOUTH DAY' is observed on Swami Vivekananda's birthday (Jan 12 each year), the Ashrama holds an annual Programme for the large number of youth who come out on that day. Sri Ramakrishna's birthday and Swami Adbhutananda's birthday both are very popular festivals. People from remote villages are very happy to attend the feasts (and Prasad distribution) which follows these functions.
