ABSTRACT
This research paper focuses on the welfare scheme Magalir Vidiyal Payanam implemented in Tamil Nadu with the aim of empowering women socially and economically. The main objective of this study is to examine the real- life benefits and drawbacks of the scheme as experienced by women beneficiaries. For this purpose, data was collected from 100 women across different socio-economic backgrounds through direct interaction and survey methods.
The study reveals that while the scheme has had a positive impact in terms of financial support, skill development, and improved self-confidence among many women, there are also certain challenges such as lack of proper awareness, delays in benefit distribution, and limited follow-up support. Some participants felt that the scheme could be more effective with better planning and execution at the grassroots level.
Overall, the research highlights the significance of such welfare initiatives while also pointing out areas that need improvement. The findings suggest that with better outreach, transparency, and continuous support, the Magalir Vidiyal Payanam scheme has the potential to bring about real and lasting change in the lives of women in Tamil Nadu.
