History
CSD was founded in 1913.[2] It traces its origins to the British colonial period in India, where the Army Canteen Board was created as part of the British Navy and Army Canteen Board.[3] While the British organization was dissolved in 1922 and replaced by the Naval, Army and Air Force Agency, the Indian Army Canteen Board continued until 1927.[3] In that year, it was succeeded by the Canteen Contractors' Syndicate (CCS).[3]
After the partition of India in 1947, the Canteen Stores Department (India) in Pakistan was renamed as CSD Pakistan.[3]
