Directorate of Social Security and Women & Child Development

About Us

The Directorate of Social Security and Women & Child Development is a vital governmental body dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for women, children, and vulnerable populations. With a strong focus on inclusive development, the Directorate works to ensure that every individual—regardless of gender, age, or socio-economic status—has access to the support and opportunities they need to live with dignity and security.

At the heart of the Directorate’s work is a commitment to protecting the rights and welfare of women and children. It oversees a broad spectrum of initiatives that support early childhood care, nutritional assistance, education, healthcare, and safety. Through a structured network of programs, the Directorate provides crucial services to communities across the state, especially in rural and underserved areas.

One of its key responsibilities is the effective implementation of early childhood development programs, which are carried out through community-based centres. These centres offer nutritional meals, pre-school education, and basic healthcare services. In addition, the Directorate supports women through various schemes that aim to enhance their economic independence, safety, and access to justice.

The Directorate also administers social security benefits for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and other disadvantaged groups. These services include financial assistance, rehabilitation programs, and access to essential care and support systems.

Collaboration is central to the Directorate’s approach. It works in partnership with local governments, civil society organizations, and community groups to ensure that services reach those who need them the most. It also focuses on awareness-building and capacity development to foster more resilient communities.

With a clear mandate to promote equity, protection, and empowerment, the Directorate continues to play a transformative role in shaping a more just and inclusive society.
