The  recruitment  and  promotion  to Group  A  posts  of  the  Ministry  (Main  Secretariat)  are  made  through  Union  Public Service Commission (UPSC). The recruitments to Group B and C posts are through Staff Selection Commission (SSC). The Ministry has no role in filling up these posts, except intimating vacancies and  requesting the concerned  Cadre  Controlling Authorities to fill  up  their  respective  posts,  which  has  been  done on regular basis. Reservation in above mentioned posts is also maintained by these Cadre Controlling Authorities.

In respect of Ministry's associate offices, the Government has decided to close down Central Social Welfare Board (CSWB), Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) and Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (RMK) as per recommendations in the report on 'Rationalization of Government Bodies' prepared by the Principal Economic Advisor to the Government of India in November, 2020.
