It represented the secular side of the Brahmo Samaj and included many who did not belong to the Brahmo Samaj. The objective was to put into practice some of the ideas Sen was exposed to during his visit to Great Britain. David Kopf says that Sen was enthusiastic about the Unitarian social gospel, which he observed first hand during his trip abroad. He seemed convinced that the reform efforts he witnessed in Britain could be duplicated in India. The Indian Reform Association was formed to promote \"the social and moral reformation of the natives of India.\" The comprehensive objective of the Association was to be served through five departments of activity \u2013 cheap literature, female improvement, education, temperance, and charity."@en . .
