History and Birth of ASHA DEEP Trust
It had been a long cherished dream of Mother Veronica(our Foundress of Apostolic Carmel Congregation) to serve the sick, inform and the needy of the society. To give this dream a shape Mother along with her Group of dedicated Sisters started serving the society at the various level a as and when needed. But with time this charity trends was questioned by thems
elves and the need was felt for professional approach. Keeping this in mind some of sisters were professionally trained in the field of social work. After this the dream was to have our own registered Social Work branch. With this ASHA DEEP trust was born and officially registered at Social work Branch. Through it was officially registered in 2007 the Sister had been serving the Society, late back as 1960 by their own Rights. Executive committee members :-------
