ORDER:

The Government established the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Social Security and Welfare Board on the 17th March, 1999. The Government also established nine Welfare Boards, under sub-section (1) of Section of the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982, on the dates noted against each as mentioned below:-

1. Tamil Nadu Auto Rickshaw and Taxi Drivers Welfare Board. 20.7.2000

2. Tamil Nadu Washermen Welfare Board. 20.7.2000

3. Tamil Nadu Hairdressers Welfare Board 20.7.2000

5. Tamil Nadu Palm Tree Workers Welfare Board 18.10.2000

7. Tamil Nadu Handloom and Handloom Silk Weaving Workers Welfare Board 14.03.2001

9. Tamil Nadu Artists Welfare Board 14.03.2001

Schemes have also been formulated in exercise of the powers conferred by section 4 read with Section 3 of the said Act for implementation by the Boards except for the Tamil Nadu Handloom and Handloom Silk Weaving Workers Welfare Board, the Tamil Nadu Footwear and Leather Goods Manufactory & Tannery Workers Welfare Board and the Tamil Nadu Artists Welfare Board. However the workers concerned with employments of above three Boards for which separate schemes were not formulated, are continuously registered with the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Social Security and Welfare Board and extended benefits. The process of registration of the manual workers in all these Boards is same. The Boards do not have adequate funds to implement the schemes. Implementing same type of schemes by establishing separate Boards/staff involves huge expenditure. The Government, therefore, amalgamated the nine Welfare Boards mentioned above with the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Social Security and Welfare Board. Consequently, the schemes hitherto implemented by the six out of the nine Welfare Boards have to be implemented by the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Social Security and Welfare Board. To facilitate this, the Government have decided to issue necessary amendments to the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers Social Security Welfare Scheme 2001.

2. The appended Notifications will be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, both in English and Tamil.

3. The Tamil Development, Culture and Religious Endowments (Translations) Department, Chennai-600 009, is requested to supply the Tamil version of the Notifications to the Works Manager, Government Central Press, Chennai-600 079.
