Serampore Mission
The Serampore Mission was a significant Christian missionary effort established in the early 19th century in India. Founded by the trio of William Carey, Joshua Marshman, and William Ward, it aimed to spread Christianity and promote education among the local population. The mission was based in the town of Serampore, near Kolkata, and became known for its translation work, producing the first complete Bible in several Indian languages.
The mission also focused on social reform, addressing issues like education, women's rights, and health care. It established schools and colleges, contributing to the development of modern education in India. The legacy of the Serampore Mission continues to influence Christian missions and educational initiatives in the region today.
