Most of the public sector organizations in the Social Justice & Empowerment sector are working under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment of Government of India. In the year 1985-86, the older ministry of welfare was divided into department of welfare and department of women & child development. Concurrently, minorities & backward classes welfare division, tribal development division and scheduled caste development division were moved from the Ministry of Home Affairs to form the Ministry of Welfare.

Subsequently, the name of the Ministry was changed as Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment in the year 1998. This sector also serves the economy by offering employment opportunities through the companies working under its control.
