Constitutional Dimensions of Social Security in India: an Analytical Study

Abstract

Because it fosters political stability, economic prosperity, and faith in the intrinsic dignity and worth of the common man, social security in every civilization serves the interests of all other countries. Prior to India's independence in 1947, residents were already eligible for a variety of benefits. Social Security is based on the principles of modesty and fairness. Said another way, the idea behind social security is that a person who has benefited from or is expected to contribute to his country's prosperity should be safeguarded against certain perils. Investigating how the idea of social security has developed through time is the focus of this study. This article looks at the incorporation of social security provisions into legislation, notably labor law, by analysing judicial declarations made by different Indian courts and the changes that have followed from them.
