For vs of preposition

Please explain to me the use of preposition "for and "of" in the following:
Department of Health but
Department for Pension and Work
BCCI-Board of control for cricket in India
If we say Board for control of Cricket in India, does it sound logical and grammatically correct?
What meaning of "of and for" we can use in the above three examples?
Thanks
