  • History Of IASOWA

The Indian Administrative Service Officers’ Wives Association (IASOWA) came into being in 1968, and since its inception, it has stood as a beacon of compassion, service, and purposeful commitment. For over five decades, IASOWA has been working tirelessly towards the upliftment of underprivileged women and children, striving to create meaningful change in their lives through sustained and impactful initiatives.

Guided by a deep sense of social responsibility, IASOWA has continually sought to bridge gaps in opportunity through its diverse capacity-building programmes—spanning education, vocational training, health, and empowerment. Each initiative reflects the Association’s belief that true progress lies not merely in charity, but in enabling dignity and self-reliance.

Through its numerous outreach endeavours, IASOWA has reached out to countless women and children who have benefitted immensely from its programmes. Quietly yet powerfully, it continues to touch lives, build confidence, and nurture hope—embodying the Association's enduring spirit of service
