Abstract

After the turmoil of 1857, India was in a state of stagnation. To address this, the government established various educational and literary societies in different provinces and cities, including the prominent "Punjab Association." This new trend of forming societies, led by Lahore, raised awareness among the people and encouraged them to adapt to new circumstances and pursue education. Opportunities for employment were provided to students, and efforts were made to preserve and promote the Urdu language. These educational and literary societies greatly contributed to the development of the people of Lahore. Some successful associations included the Islamic Association Lahore, Useful Society Qasur District, Compassionate Islamic Society Lahore, Urdu Support Society, Islamic Support Society Lahore, Scholars Association, Lahore Development Movement, and the Circle of Scholars. These societies played a significant role in promoting and advancing Urdu not only in Lahore but throughout the entire Indo-Pak region.
