The new master health check-up scheme for construction workers in Tamil Nadu is a welcome move. It shows that the government is thinking about the health of the people who build our homes, offices and roads. These workers often work long hours in tough conditions and their health needs more care.
This scheme will help find early signs of illness, which can be treated before they become serious. However, good health is not just about check-ups. It also means clean drinking water, safety gear, clean toilets and rest breaks at worksites.
By focusing on health, the state is showing that it values its workers. If this plan grows to include more safety and health measures, it can really change lives. It’s a step in the right direction and with steady efforts, it can create a strong, healthy workforce that helps build a better Tamil Nadu.
