The Department of Social Services is one of the other nation-building institutions of the government. Social welfare activities started in the country in 1955, but the Department of Social Services was created in 1961. The department created in the 60s has been upgraded to the Department of Social Services. The activities of this department were initially city-based and service oriented. In the context of time, the activities of this department have expanded to the grassroots level across the country.
