Abstract

Labour welfare in India is a dynamic concept that encompasses a broad spectrum of services and programs aimed at improving the working and living conditions of labourers. This research paper examines the statutory framework governing labour welfare with a focus on the role of the Labour Welfare Board and the various social welfare schemes instituted for the benefit of unorganized and organized sector workers. The study outlines the intersection between legal mandates and social responsibility, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and outreach of government-initiated welfare schemes. This is a non – doctrinal research paper conducted using secondary data with references from statutes of labour reforms and regulations. It explores the impact, reach, and effectiveness of these schemes, especially among unorganized workers, and identifies the challenges in implementation. The study also offers suggestions for better coverage, awareness, and policy interventions. This study analyses the actions taken by the Tamil Nadu government on labour reforms and their skill development.

Key words: Tamil Nadu Government, unorganised workers, social welfare schemes.
