Late Mr. M. S. Ahmed, who was the Honorary
Corresponding Member of CIT in Pakistan, visited London
in April 1976 thereby laying the foundation stone for
the establishment of CIT, Pakistan Center. First lot of
Corporate members of Pakistan were elected by CIT London
in November 1976 and its first General meeting was held
in June 1977 when they had a total of 47 Fellows and
members.
By the end of 1986, CILT was reorganized, raising its
status from a Center to a Division with five sections -
Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi/lslamabad, Peshawar and
Quetta. Membership at that time was 343.Next major land mark of CIT Pakistan was its
upgradation to Council status in October 1991, which is
the highest hierarchy of CIT at the international level.
New Title of CILT Pakistan was adopted on November 2001.
Executive committee of Pakistan Council is elected after
every two years and has representation from all modes of
transport (Sea, Air, Rail, Road), Logistics as well as
Government sector.
Another important development of the period was the
launching of quarterly journal in May 1994. Thus CILT
has the unique honour of being the first professional
body of transportants in Pakistan to start a transport
and logistics magazine, which is distributed to all our
members, sister bodies and transport/logistics
organizations at national and international level.
In March,1991, the first Directory of Members was
printed and updated in August,2002.
In August,1991, the President of Pakistan graciously
agreed to be the Patron of CIT Pakistan and was pleased
to grant the Presidential Charter for functioning of
Institute in Pakistan.
During the last 30 years 32 Annual Conferences/Seminars
have been organized.
CILT Pakistan‘s performance at international level has
been acknowledged as being very impressive. With the
addition of Logistics to the original charter of
transport, CILT will be a major professional body at
international level. CILT Pakistan is constantly showing
progress with this enhanced role, confidence and renewed
interest.
