The refugee problem was a big challenge for the newly
established state of Pakistan after 1947. Millions of refugees,
who migrated from India, were looking forward to the
Government of Pakistan for the provision of food, medicine,
accommodation, employment and whatever they needed. It was
an uphill task for the newly established state surrounded by
numerous hardships. The main focus of this paper is to look
into the whole process of settlement of more than thirty-one
thousands of families of refugees in the desert of Thal, which
lies in the west of Punjab Pakistan during 1947 to 1969. The
historical research approach has been applied to study the
settlement of refugees in the Thal desert. It was not an easy task
for the government to develop the desert of Thal so that the
refugees could be settled. Thal Development Authority during
twenty years of its functioning not only settled more than thirty- one thousand families of refugees in the Thal desert but also
provided them with all basic facilities of life such as education,
health, roads, employment etc
