About

Council for promotion of social justice and empowerment of india

The Social Justice Empowerment Council of India (SECI) is a dedicated organization under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India, focused on creating nationwide awareness about social justice schemes and welfare initiatives. SECI plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between policy and people by promoting the Department’s programs to marginalized and vulnerable groups—such as Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, denotified and nomadic tribes, transgender individuals, and those affected by substance misuse.

By forging strategic partnerships with civil society, legal aid bodies, and grassroots networks, SECI ensures that every corner of India becomes aware of their legal rights, entitlements, and access to government schemes. Their holistic approach—encompassing campaigns, outreach, training, and service platforms—helps build an inclusive, equitable society where constitutional promises translate into real empowerment.
