SOCIAL WELFARE SCHEME FOR SCHEDULED TRIBES WOMEN IN TAMILNADU - A STUDY

Abstract

This study examines the social welfare schemes available for scheduled tribe’s women in Tamil Nadu. Scheduled tribe’s women face several social and economic challenges due to their marginalized status in society. The government of Tamil Nadu has implemented various social welfare schemes to address these challenges and uplift the living standards of scheduled tribe’s women. The study uses both primary and secondary data to analyze the effectiveness of these social welfare schemes. The primary data was collected through interviews and surveys conducted among scheduled tribe’s women in Tamil Nadu. The secondary data was collected from government reports, academic journals, and other relevant sources. The study finds that the government of Tamil Nadu has implemented several social welfare schemes for scheduled tribe’s women, including education scholarships, healthcare facilities, and economic empowerment programs. However, there are several challenges faced by scheduled tribe’s women in accessing these schemes, including lack of awareness, bureaucratic hurdles, and inadequate funding. The study recommends several measures to address these challenges, including increasing awareness about the social welfare schemes among scheduled tribe’s women, simplifying the application process, and increasing funding for these programs. The study concludes that there is a need for continuous monitoring and evaluation of these schemes to ensure their effectiveness in addressing the social and economic challenges faced by scheduled tribe’s women in Tamil Nadu.
