Every welfare organization is committed to the growth, upliftment & development of the masses in general & vulnerable sections of the society in particular, because the society is comprising of the people with multiple caste, creed, religion, traditions, having diverse culture & large ethnic system. Historically the strong caste system & geographical division of population has always brought miseries for the low caste tribes in social & economic fields which has ultimately accentuated the difference between the levels of upliftment & development of various communities & areas. Thus establishing it as the way of life, every human being looks forward to the nicest prospect & better future. Therefore, some prominent personalities of the time in Kishtwar town desired to setup an "ANJUMAN" with the object of upliftment of Educational backwardness in the area to become familiar with expected changes in future times.
