Pakistan Council for Social Welfare & Human Rights (PCSW&HR) was formed in 1992, with Mr. Mehmud Ali a veteran of the Pakistan Movement, as the Patron. The society started off with the aim to work for the human rights, inter-religious harmony, justice and sustainable peace in the Pakistani society. The strategy adopted was through promotion of inter-religious dialogues at the grass roots. The cope was soon widened to include ensuring implantation of the conventions on child rights. The organization stands registered with Social Welfare Department, Government of the Punjab, under the Voluntary Social welfare Agencies (Registration and Control) Ordinance (XLVI of 1961) with its register office in Sialkot Pakistan
