Social welfareas an organized function is regarded as a body of activities designed to enable

individuals, families, groups and communities to cope with the social problems of changing

conditions. But in addition to and extending beyond the range of its responsibilities for specificservices, social welfare has a further function within the broad area of a country's social

development. In this larger sense, social welfare should play a major role in contributing to the

effective mobilization and deployment of human and material resources of the country to dealsuccessfully with the social reuirements of change, thereby participating in nation!building."
