Social Welfare is the process of Social Development through which the potential of the people is stimulated to promote effective participation in the process of social change and improvement of quality of life. The concept of Social Welfare in Pakistan is drawn from the cardinal principles of Islam based on Adl-o-Ehsan and Haqooq-ul-Ibad, making the state and society together responsible for the welfare of the people. The Constitution of Pakistan also enjoins on the state to alleviate the sufferings of all citizens irrespective of sex, caste, creed or Race.

The Department of Social Welfare, Women Development & Bait-ul-Maal, Punjab carries out these functions in three sub sectors of Social Welfare, Women Development and Bait-ul-Maal.
