Andhra Pradesh Government main object of the scheme is to provide relief to the families of unorganized workers in case of death or disability of the unorganised worker leaving the families in great distress. All India statistics         indicate that Andhra Pradesh is one of the States with large number of       accidents. The death or disability due to accident of an unorganized worker             results in misery to his family and hardship caused by reduced earnings and          medical and other expenditure relating to the accident. Hence, there is every           need to provide accident death and disability insurance to the worker towards             social ecurity. Further, even natural death of an unorganized worker results in    undue hardship to the family members left by the worker who need to be       provided ome relief.
