INTRODUCTION

The Department of Social Welfare and Nutritious Meal Programme has been working for the welfare of the people from infants to the aged (i.e.) children, women, aged and the disadvantaged. The implementation of various social welfare programmes of the Government is done through three Directorates namely Social Welfare, Social Defence and Integrated Child Development Services. This Department also functions as a nodal agency for various social security programmes implemented through Revenue Department such as Old Age Pension, Widow pension, Pension for the differently-abled persons, Pension to unmarried, poor, incapacitated women aged 50 years and above. Empowerment of women has been the important goal of this Government through social and economic development programmes. This Government have initiated several programmes to enable women to realize their hidden and unexplored strengths, build their self-esteem and improve their living conditions. Through these programmes, women are able to attain financial freedom and economic independence. This Government has been taking pro-active steps to ensure gender equality and protection of human rights of the women. Special measures have been taken to provide access to Justice, thus rendering gender Justice. This Department lays special focus on the welfare schemes such as marriage assistance schemes for the women, hostels for the low-income working women, girl child protection schemes and service homes for women in need of shelter and support. The special steps taken for the girl children have resulted in higher enrolment of girls in schools and reduced school drop out among girls. This Department implements two prestigious Nutritious Meal Programmes, namely, Puratchi Thalaivar MGR Nutritious Meal Programme and Supplementary Nutrition Programme through Integrated Child Development Services Scheme. The Puratchi Thalaivar MGR Nutritious Meal Programme provides mid day meal to school going children from I std. to X std. Supplementary Nutrition is one of the prime services rendered under Integrated Child

Development Services, which takes care of the nutritional and health needs of children from 0-6 years. The pregnant and lactating mothers from several sections of the society are provided with nutritious food, besides health education in Child Centres. The Directorate of Social Defence has been implementing many schemes for the rehabilitation of the children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with law. By establishing homes for the old aged, and providing pension to the old aged people, widows, destitute women and differently-abled persons, this Government has ensured their well being. This Government has recently ordered several welfare measures to the Nutritious meal and Anganwadi employees to improve their status and welfare. This Department implements and monitors several social legislations for the care, welfare and protection of the children, women, and the senior citizens.
