Swami Akhandananda Maharaj, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna established the institution in 1897. He came the nearby village Mahula to help the famine affected poor villagers of Murshidabad on 15 May 1897. The present site of Sargachi ashrama was taken over in 1913. Akhandananda started an orphanage and primary school initially to provide quality education to the local students.[2]
