INTRODUCTION
The Department of Social welfare was formed as per order
No. GOP No. 223/75/LA and SWD dtd. 09-09-1975 for the
implementation of social welfare programmes and services.
The concept of a welfare state pre-supposes careful planning
and effective implementation of welfare services for the
weaker sections of the community. The Social Welfare
Services intend to provide needed care and protection and
such other services to women, children, physically &,
mentally challenged, destitute, orphans, aged, infirm and
the social deviants like children in need of care and
protection, children in conflict with law, and young, first
time short term offenders The department now attained the
status of a major department in terms of its size and
service delivery, having grass root level network of
institutions like Anganwadi Centers for each 800 population;
57300 field staff and 3524 permanent staff.
About 8 lakhs children and 7 lakhs
women are the direct beneficiaries under supplementary
nutrition and more than
5 lakhs of
children have been registered for non formal
pre-school education. All BPL families, old aged,
destitute, disabled and women and children in distress are
the direct or indirect beneficiaries of the various schemes
implemented by this Department. The Social Welfare

defense services to vulnerable sections of the society. By
providing such services, these poor sections, which would be
the worst sufferers and the most neglected, would be enabled
to improve their living standard. Social Welfare Department
