Ishrat Ansari, Founder Virsa Pakistan with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Late in 1999, the name of Rauf Ansari Foundation, a family foundation, was changed to Virsa Pakistan to make it more representative and broad based.

Virsa Pakistan is a New York based organization. It aims to provide the people of North America with a better understanding of Pakistan by bringing its art, literature and music to the American people.

A young country with an ancient civilization, Pakistan has a remarkable cultural heritage. The humane features of our inheritance expressed so vividly in our art music and literature, provide the very foundation of a tolerant society. The ethnic religious and linguistic diversity in Pakistan creates a rich cultural mosaic. Virsa Pakistan is committed to embodying these values in its activities and bringing about a better understanding of Pakistan in the American people.
