All of the ministries have very ironic names.
The Ministry of Truth is where Winston Smith works. Their role is to change the past and to spread lies. They are putting out what the Party says is true, but not what really is true.
The Ministry of Truth conducts wars.
The Ministry of Love is in charge of the police. This includes things like the Thought Police. As we see in the book, the police are brutal.
The Ministry of Plenty takes care of economic affairs. This is an ironic name because pretty much everyone is poor.
