CHAPTER–5
STATE SOCIAL SECURITY SCHEMES

Working of these Schemes and Administration

In India, in the past, social security was in a crude form of social
protection, it was available to the needy and the unfortunate in the joint
family set up and the cast system. An additional help from individuals
and institutions was provided to them through the guilds, community
panchayate, orphanages, widow homes and charity centres. The joint
family played vital rote of a shock absorber protecting its members form
hurdless and of various contingences like unemployment, economic
handship, old age, convalescene, invalidism and widowhood. Similarly,
guilds, castes, communities etc. offered safeguards and benefits to its
members. The benefits include medical aid to the old, feeble and invalid,
financial help to the orphans, widows and other needy persons. Donations
and subscriptions were collected for this purpose from the members of
their community. [Sinha P.R.N-2008] The rich and a religious backing
as the giving of aims were regarded as the pious deed (punnya). However,
the drawback of this benefit was that such that help was restricted only
to the members of a particular community and it was never a certainty
that the benefits would freely flow to the neediest and deserving persons.
The need for social security acquires a further emphasis in countries
India where, in view of the transition taking place, traditional values related
with small communities and joint family, and security mechanism in these
social institutions, social structure, social organisation used to wide for
the needy, are giving way to new system. In a predominantly Indian
economy with low per capita - income, considerable disguised
unemployment, wide economic and social inequalities, highly limited
opportunities etc, an individual's capacity and efforts to look after himself
will be inadequate.

The state has, therefore, initiated action in this field. The

constitution of India envisages, coming into being of a welfare state free
from exploitation, poverty, and injustice. It further clearly lays down.
"The state within the units of its economic capacity and development,
make effective provision security the right to work to educate and to
public assistance in cases of employment, old age, and disablement and
in other cases of under served want". [Madan-2013]
In Bihar state, has therefore initiated scheme in unorganized section.
Central Government provided various scheme for the people. Indira
Gandhi National old age pension scheme etc (But Directorate by social
welfare department of Bihar State). On the other hand, Laxmibai social
security pension scheme, Bihar Disability pension scheme and state social
security pension scheme has been implemented by Bihar Government
which is directed by social welfare department. Thus, the effectiveness
of any piece of legislation largly depends upon the enforcement machinery
and the style of functioning of the machinery concerned. The task of
enforcing machinery is not so simple. [Sachdeva, D.R-2007]
In the present chapter, therefore, an attempt has been made to
examine the arrangement which has been made to enforce the Act and to
create the necessary atmoshphere in which the obligations and
responsibilities under this are understood and accepted by the employers
as also by the people whom the scheme, has been enacted.
The chapter highlights the role and directorate of various controlling
which is called social security department such as minister, secretary,
Director, social security, Joint Director, social security and Assistant
Director (Headquarters) and District Assistant Director.

providing benefits to poor people of unorganized sector. During 2007-

widow and old age pension etc.

that 50% of the deaths are males and lion share of these being of married
males in upper age strata, the number of widows in BPL category being
added in each year should not be less than 20,000. Further, this scheme,
also provision for such beneficiaries not enlisted in BPL survey but with
