Background
It was in the last week of December 1995, when a group of young, energetic and sincere personnel met and made up their mind to establish an institution to work jointly for the social welfare and rehabilitation of the needy. This group of people was persons engaged in different sectors who wanted to put their theory and vision into practice. These persons were engaged in different institutions to make their theory into practical. The groups are from different faculty and from different working zones.
Finally, in the month of January 1996, an institution was founded by the name of THE CENTRE OF SOCIAL WELFARE & REHABILITATION by its seven members and having its Head Quarter at Patna. The first Executive meeting was held on 3rd January, 1996. After the formal formations of the institution, it was vowed by the members that the institution will work for the overall social welfare and rehabilitation of the needy. The center will concentrate their activities to such zones, which are still untouched and crying for help.
Since its inception, CSWR has been working on various development issues, with prime focus in the field of Education, Health and Sanitation. The institution has been working in collaboration with the Government of Jharkhand, Government of Bihar and other international/national level organizations.
Our Philosophy
The basic philosophy lying behind the formation of the institution was to make the persons adjustable in the society. The institution has an ambition to prepare the people to fight against their weaknesses and bring about a positive change by their own means. The institution seeks to support by providing more opportunities to such people to choose their own path and make them productive beings of the society.
The institution works by the philosophy that there should not be a relation of donor and beneficiary in the society. Only the hand of assistance would be raised to help the people. The center believes in the emotional connectedness among the family members, society and in all the spheres. It advocates the liberty of women in their educational, social, economical and religious sphere.

Director's Message
"The CSWR, now a mid-level institution, looks forward to associate itself with more and more development agencies that can support it through providing funds and other technical assistance so as to bring about a positive change in the life of those who come across, associate and become a part of the Institution. We believe that every individual deserves an opportunity to live with dignity and purpose. Our work over the years has been guided by this simple yet powerful belief. As we continue our journey, we remain committed to serving marginalized communities and creating lasting positive change. Together, we can build a more inclusive and equitable society."
