The Tamil Nadu Agricultural Labourers-Farmers (Social Security and Welfare) Repeal Act, 2011

The Tamil Nadu Agricultural Labourers-Farmers (Social Security and Welfare) Repeal Act, 2011

This law officially cancels a 2006 welfare act that provided social security to agricultural laborers and farmers in Tamil Nadu. It applies directly to the state's farming community, who previously received benefits from a dedicated welfare fund. By repealing the older law, this Act shuts down that specific welfare scheme and directs the government to transfer all remaining money from the welfare fund into a new, state-selected financial account. This matters because it permanently alters the legal framework for agricultural workers' social security, ending the older benefit structure and allowing the government to redistribute these collected public welfare resources elsewhere.
