IRC

Indus Resource Centre (IRC) was established in 1999 for the purpose of strengthening community based civil society institutions. Their mission is to bring marginalized communities into the mainstream of national affairs.

The organization is registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. It is governed by a Board consisting of five development professionals, two government officials and one university professor. The Executive Director is the head of the management structure and is responsible for ensuring that IRC’s overall objectives are met. At present IRC has 22 program staff and 9 support staff at offices in Khairpur, Sehwan and Karachi.

IRC is implementing a variety of programs and projects in Khairpur related to education, micro credit, integrated rural development and strengthening of government institutions. For every project and program, IRC partners with a Community Based Organization (CBO) that plays a vital role in its implementation. DIL has been supporting IRC’s main education project - called the ‘Non-Formal Girls’ Primary Education Project’ – since 2001
