Dear Members,

In September 2024, I had the privilege of taking over as President of the Association. The Association has continued to be a source of camaraderie among the wives of the current and retired officers of the Indian Administrative Service and the Indian Civil Service. We have gone forward in 2025 with our diverse set of activities to help the community we live in, and particularly for the benefit of those less fortunate than us.

Our varied community service activities is under a process of change. We aspire to evolve into a structured and professional set up. The IASOWA are proud to run Prerna (an NGO for the underprivileged) where we help women with the Prerna Design Center, and children with the Prerna learning Center. The skilling and education done here, can help uplift them in society.

I feel fortunate to have a team of young Executive Members with fresh ideas and extraordinary enthusiasm by my side. It is a comfort to know that the IASOWA is a family that brings us all together.

"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things" — Saint Teresa of Calcutta.
