Social Security has now become a fact of life for millions of people throughout the world. It is a major aspect of public policy and the extent of its prevalence is a measure of the progress made by a country towards the ideal of a Welfare State. The promulgation of the ESI Act was the major legislation on social security for workers in independent India. Social security provisions made in their Act to counterbalance to the resulting physical or financial stress in contingencies aimed at upholding human dignity in times of crisis through protection from deprivation, destitution and social degradation.
