Canteen Stores Department, colloquially known as CSD, is a Pakistani state-owned discount retailer chain that operates a chain of supermarkets in cantonments and other military-administered areas cross the country.
CSD is run by the Pakistan Army and is funded by the Ministry of Defence.
History
CSD was founded in 1913. 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. 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. In that year, it was succeeded by the Canteen Contractors' Syndicate (CCS).
After the partition of India in 1947, the Canteen Stores Department (India) in Pakistan was renamed as CSD Pakistan.
