Answer 1

by Lisham Anandakumar Singh
As a welfare State, India is committed to the welfare and development of its people, particularly the vulnerable sections like the scheduled castes (SCs), scheduled tribes (STs), backward classes, minorities and the handicapped. This section of the society constitutes nearly 85% of the population. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “it is a system whereby the state undertakes to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially those in need, by means of grants, pensions, and other benefits”. The term ‘welfare State’ originated during the time of the Second World War to differentiate wartime Britain from the Welfare State of Germany.

It is a concept where government provides the requirements for the welfare or the well being of its citizens completely. India is a country which has accepted the notion of Welfare State by accepting the liability towards securing the public welfare and to sub-serve the interest of all citizens.

The purpose of the welfare state is to create economic equality or to assure equitable standards of living for all. The welfare states provides education, housing, sustenance, healthcare, pensions, unemployment insurance and care for old age people and are available to them as a matter of ‘Right’.
