      About Us

      In the 1980s, the Government of Bangladesh felt the need to establish a specialized institution for poverty alleviation through employment generation. After years-long discussions with development partners, different ministries and top development experts, the GoB finally decided to found Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF). This apex development organization formally came into being on 13 November 1989, after the President of Bangladesh approved the proposal. Ever since, PKSF has been working relentlessly to fight poverty and improve lives across the country.    Read More…

      Programs

      The 15.4 million people that PKSF works with across the country include the extremely poor, ethno-culturally and socio-economically disadvantaged people, and microentrepreneurs. For them, PKSF makes appropriate interventions that are not time-bound. These we officially call ‘programs’. They remain in operation for as long as there is demand in the field. These programs are operated solely with PKSF’s own financing.

      List of Programs  
      Projects

      PKSF’s activities have always been demand-driven. Hence, the nature of its interventions constantly evolves with the changing needs of people. In order to ensure services that are out of the purviews of its programs, PKSF takes up tailor-made projects with specific objectives. Various development partners co-finance such projects that usually have a specific duration.

In the very immediate past, Dr Halder held the position of a Professorial Fellow at North South University. Born in the coastal area of Bagerhat, Dr Halder served as a public servant of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh for long 30 years.

As is usual, she started her career in the public service at the local administration level, which helped her understand the state of people and public affairs at the grassroots. Later, the opportunity of being in close association with the Hon’ble Prime Minister as her Private Secretary offered Dr Halder some access to know the pros and cons at the very high level of policy making of the central government.

Dr Nomita Halder ndc graduated in Agriculture from Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Later, she did an MA on Development Administration from the Australian National University. And finally, she did her PhD from the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. As the Secretary of the Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment, her dynamic leadership in dealing with the critical matters of migration and human trafficking won commendations from diverse quarters, at home and abroad. In 2018, she retired from the public service. Dr Halder is widely known as a result-driven and career-oriented professional with a target for excellence. She has serious concerns for the vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalized poor communities and is sincerely keen to work with them. Dr Nomita Halder ndc is an Honorary Member of the National Human Rights Commission, Bangladesh.

With her at the very top of the management of Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation, the PKSF family with all its Partner Organizations (PO) across the country look forward to the acceleration of the pace of achieving the organization’s vision and mission in future.
