Social Policy

Social policy in India encompasses welfare programmes, poverty alleviation, food security, and social protection schemes administered primarily by the Ministries of Labour & Employment, Women & Child Development, Social Justice & Empowerment, and Rural Development. The sector is guided by constitutional directives on equitable growth and targets universal access to basic services for India's 1.4 billion citizens. Current policy direction emphasises Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), last-mile delivery through digital infrastructure, and convergence of flagship schemes under the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
