Suryodaya Ashram is one of the recently started mission centre of the diocese of Vasai in Mokhada Taluka of Thane District. Mokhada is about 130 k. m. from Vasai and about 170 k. m. from Mumbai. Yet it has remained by enlarge a very backward taluka in all its aspects. It is predominantly tribal taluka lacking in basic infrastructure, basic health and educational facilities.
The diocese of Vasai, under the leadership of Bishop Thomas Dabre, thought of bringing a new sunrise (Suryodaya in local language) to this taluka which is the first one to see the sunrise in Thane District. Yet the darkness of deaths through malnutrition, ill-health and backwardness in all its aspects, prevails.
Suryodaya Ashram through its activities is conducting medical camps weekly and supplementary classes daily for the tribal students in trying to bring the light sunrise in this gloom of darkness for the last six years.
