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.

A career of an IAS officer is of constant changes and transfers, the families must adapt to ever-changing circumstances and navigate through the new customs and eco-systems of new States, societies, and learn to create a fulfilling life. Officer’s wives have been a pillar of strength and support in their husband’s career, managing their own lives, along with their husband’s and children, with grace and resilience. IASOWA is a means for us wives to connect with one another to ease these processes of change.

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, and empowerment.
