The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, a crucial arm of the Government of India, stands as a beacon of hope for the most vulnerable and marginalized communities across the nation. Its noble mission revolves around ensuring the welfare, social justice, and empowerment of those who often face systemic barriers to progress. From scheduled castes (SC) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) to LGBT individuals, persons with disabilities, the older people, and victims of drug abuse, the ministry’s scope of care is wide-reaching and inclusive.
At the helm of this ministry is the compassionate leader, Virendra Kumar, who holds the esteemed position of Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment. Supported by a dedicated team including Minister of State Rattan Lal Kataria, Krishan Pal Gujjar, and Ramdas Athavale, their collective efforts aim to uplift and advocate for those in need. Together, they strive not only to implement effective policies but also to enforce anti-discrimination laws, fostering a more just and equitable society for all.
