In four decades, the State of Tamil Nadu has experienced an increase in elderly
population as a proportion to total population, from 5.6% in 1961 to 10.4% in 2011. The
State Government has been implementing programmes for senior citizens through various
measures like tax benefits, travel & health care facilities, and implementation of Social
Welfare Schemes. The State had introduced Social Security Pension Schemes in 1962,
before Central Government. Now these schemes are implemented under Indira Gandhi
National Old Age Pension Scheme (IGNOAPS).

Division, and Appellate Tribunals in each district have been set up. However about half of
the cases of maintenance in the State have been solved through conciliation. The Police
Stations in the State maintain up to date list of senior citizens in their jurisdiction. The
elderly people who live by themselves are visited by social workers and representative of
the Police Stations for assistance, whenever such requests are made. In the field of health,
separate geriatric wards are functioning all District Hospitals and Medical Officers visit
Old Age Homes once a month, for free.
