The Department of Social Services is one of the other nation-building institutions of the government. Although social welfare activities started in the country in 1955, the Directorate of Social Services was established in 1981. The directorate created in the sixties has been upgraded to the Department of Social Services today.
The activities of this department were initially city based and service oriented. In the course of time, the activities of this department have now expanded to the grassroots level across the country. The Department of Social Services under the Ministry of Social Welfare has been working tirelessly to strengthen the social safety net with comprehensive and multifaceted programs for the welfare and development of the destitute, neglected, backward, poor, orphans, autistic and disabled and backward people of the society.
