Social development/ social welfare is an important and integral part of a welfare state which is also incorporated in directive principles of state policies in the constitution of India. The Indian constitution clearly states. "the State shall promote with special care the educational and economical interests of the weaker sections of the people, and in particular of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, and shall protect from social injustice and all forms of exploitation". Development implies a social transformation from the existing social structure and living condition to a better and improved social structure with equal opportunities for every segment of the society.
