its utmost objective to advance the welfare of people and enhance their
quality of life. The paper explores as to what measures SAARC took and the

help improve the status of generally neglected and disadvantaged strata of
society. It endeavored to promote welfare of children, women, youth, poor,
disabled, homeless and elderly persons, and overseas workers etc. It also
formulated and adopted the SAARC Social Charter. SAARC activities

sports and culture. SAARC endeavored to eradicate poverty, illiteracy,
malnourishment, gender discrimination and inequalities. However, most of
its programs and projects remained on paper with tangible results seem less
