The Pakistan Student Association was established in 1947 by various college and university students across Pakistan, however it wasn't until the 1980s that the association begin to develop and grow. Due to the large number of students the association began to represent the student body of Pakistan. Today the organisation works for the betterment of students across Pakistan.
