Tamil Nadu Government Launches Support for Elderly Construction Workers
In a major welfare move, the Tamil Nadu government has announced the launch of two old-age homes for construction workers aged 60 and above who lack family support. These homes will each accommodate 50 residents, offering free food, lodging, and care.
Focus on Dignity and Security for Vulnerable Workers
The initiative is targeted at registered members of the Welfare Board who have contributed to the labor force and are now in need of support. These homes will provide a dignified lifestyle, ensuring basic needs are met in a secure environment.
Minister Highlights Government’s Commitment
While announcing the scheme, the minister emphasized the government’s ongoing commitment to uplift vulnerable and retired laborers. The initiative not only safeguards aged workers but also sets a benchmark in social welfare and inclusive policy.
Locations and Operational Timeline
Although the exact locations of the proposed homes are yet to be disclosed, sources suggest they will be set up in urban centers with easy access to healthcare and welfare services. Operations are expected to begin within this fiscal year.
