History

Bangladesh National Social Welfare Council traces its origins to Social Welfare Council in 1956 to look after the welfare of Biharis who moved to East Pakistan after the Partition of India. After Bangladesh became an independent country in 1971, the council was founded through a resolution in parliament and renamed Bangladesh Social Welfare Council. It was placed under the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare.[4][5] In November 2008, Special Assistant for Telecommunications to the Chief Adviser of the Caretaker government of Bangladesh, Brigadier General M. A. Malek inaugurated the website of Bangladesh National Social Welfare Council.[6] Non-government organisations are registered with the council.[7]
