The I.C.S / I.A.S Officers’ Wives’ Association Or I.A.S.O.W.A as it is more commonly known as, initially started as a regular club for the wives of I.C.S / I.A.S officers on Central Deputation to the Government of India. The Association started with the idea of providing the members an opportunity to meet once a month and touch base with friends from various parts of the country, which is not possible when posted in Home Cadres.

However on the 19th of October 1968, some of our wonderful seniors got together to add a new dimension to the club by getting it registered as a ‘Welfare Society’ under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. It will be of interest to many to know the names of our seniors who signed our registration request.
