Karunadhara is a trust that was formed, officially, on February 12 in the year 2011. Its aim is to provide monetary succour to people who are disabled in some way and to those persons who are ill and can not afford the cost of treatment. It is the brainchild of late Shri Homen Borgohain – the Assamese author of several acclaimed books and journalist par excellence. During his journalistic career he saw many physically challenged and sick individuals who led a life of utter misery. Can something be done about this, can their conditions be alleviated? These thoughts led to the birth of Karunadhara - raise fund through donations from people and organizations who cared and disburse this money through a mechanism like a trust.
