Employee Welfare Measures

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE STUDY:

The success of an organization depends not on materials, machines and equipment but on

the efficiency of the personnel who are to put in their best efforts for an efficient performance at

their job. The importance of human factor in industries lies in the fact that it has an unlimited

potential for investments. It is the only resource, which is able to produce an output greater than

its inputs. However, human resource is the most complex and unpredictable because of its

individuality. Human resource management is also known as personnel management, labor

management, manpower management etc.

Prof. E.F.L. Breech defined the term ‘personnel Management’ in the following

words---‘personnel Management is the part of management progress which is primarily

concerned with the human constitution of an organization”.

Employee Welfare

Employee welfare is the efforts to make life worth living for workmen. These efforts

have their origin either in some statute formed by the state or in some local custom or in

collective agreement or in the employer’s own initiative.

To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.

To win over employee’s loyalty and increase their morale.

To combat trade unionism and socialist ideas.

To develop efficiency and productivity among workers.

To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits.

To earn goodwill and enhance public image.

To reduce the threat of further government intervention.

“Employee Welfare is defined as the efforts to make worth living for work men”. It

suggests the measures which promote “The physical, psychological & general well being of the

working population”

-OXFORD DICTIONARY

“Employee/Labor Welfare as “such services, facilities and amenities as adequate canteens, rest

rooms, recreation facilities& travel facilities for travel to and from work, and for the

accommodation of workers employed at a distance

from their houses, and such other services, amenities and facilities as contribute to improve the

conditions under which workers are employed”

INDUSTRY PROFILE

HISTORY OF THE PAPER:

Paper has a long history, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and continuing to the

present day. For thousands of years, hand-made methods dominated and then, during the 19th

century paper production became industrialized .Originally intended purely for writing and

printing purposes, a wide variety of paper grades and uses are now available to the consumers.

The first paper mill in the world was started in 1336 A.D. in Germany. Later paper mills were

started in 1586 in “Switzerland” and “Holland”. Later it spread all over the world. Firstly in

1789 chlorine was used for bleaching of the pulp, in 1799 “Robert Nicholas” the French

scientist, who designed the first paper machine to the world. In 1809 “John Dickinson” patented

a cylinder Machine which resulted in better with speed of learning and research work. Later on

papermaking has becomes a seed industry at every inch and fairish of the world.

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY:

Paper industry in India is the 15th largest paper industry in the world. It provides

employment to nearly 1.5 million people and contributes rupees 25billion to the governments

kitty. The government regards the paper industry as one of the 35 high priority industries of the

country.

Unlike Iron and Steel, Textile and Sugar Industries the paper making industry did not

exist in ancient India. For writing purposes “Bojapatra (bank of trees) and Talpatra (leaves of

Palm) were used some of our oldest manuscripts preserved up to the present time were written on

these materials. The modern art papermaking came to India quite late and perhaps the

foundations of the modern paper Industry were laid about 1870.

GKCE, SULLURPETA


The Titaghar Paper Mills was established in 1881 in Bengal and since the Industry has

been growing and spreading in different parts of the Country. ‘Industries which use coarse,

heavy and weight-losing materials like wood and timber where in a considerable loss of weight

takes place in the first stage may usually seek different locations in different stages. The first

stages of these industries are generally located near the sources of supply of heavy materials

were these material are changed into half finished goods almost into materials.

The subsequent stages are located near the consumer markets where half finished goods

are given final shape by additional application of labor. In the care of paper industry it is

possible to prepare the wood pulp near the forests and then turn into paper in industrial and

popular centers. Canada and the Baltick countries of Europe wish their extensive soft wood

forests of the Northern Hemisphere and cheap hydro electric power are the homes of the most

important wood pulp and paper industries of the world. Wood pulp is manufactured just on the

out skirts of the forests and is supplied to the paper making centers inside their own country and

is exported to distant lands like Japan and India.

Perhaps in the beginning the Titaghar mills used cotton rage a first class material for

making the best varieties of paper. But subsequently the Indian paper mills relied mainly on

sabai grass available in Uttar Pradesh and Nepal. For interiors yellow varieties of paper even the

Munj grass was used.

A brief discussion of the natural resources shows that the beginning when sabi and other greases

were the principal raw materials and coal the main source of power. Neither Bengal nor Uttar

Pradesh enjoyed and distinct advantage, if the mills Bengal could enjoy the advantage of cheaper

of cheaper supplies of local coal, the Industry in Uttar Pradesh possessed the advantage of grass.

But as only a little over 2 tons of raw material and nearly 4 tons coal were required for

every ton of finished paper, the Industry in Bengal was better placed even after paying freight on

the supplies of grass obtained from long distance. Besides this the advantage of the paper market

at Calcutta was there. But with the introduction of Bamboos a superior’s raw material the

GKCE, SULLURPETA


Industry in Bengal was placed as constantly advantageous position.

Thus supplies of bamboo and coal near at hand and a big market for paper. Bengal

continued to enjoy a position of great advantage for the development of paper industry, Bihar,

Orissa, U.P., and the Punjab came next. After the development of hydroelectric power the

position of other bamboo producing regions in Kerala, Mysore and Hyderabad was also

considerably improved. The paper industry using Bamboo as raw material was given the benefit

of protective duties in 1925 and since then the progress of industry has been fairly satisfactory.

The development of hydroelectric power in many regions of the country has considerably help

the inter-regional dispersion of the industry.

The influence of the advantage of raw material, power and markets are very clearly

visible in the regional distribution of the industry between 1925 and 1948. In the Bombay region

the industry used rage or imported wood pulp and was thus handicapped. In the Madras region

also the resource position was not helpful for the development of the industry. In 1951, there

were 17 paper mills, and today there are about 515units engaged in the manufacture of paper and

paper boards and newsprint in India. The pulp and paper industries in India have been

categorized into large scale and small scale. Those industries which have capacity above 24,000

tonnes per annum are designated as large scale industries.

STRUCTURE OF THE INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY:

Paper industry in India can be broadly categorized into 3 major segments

Segment based on forest-based raw material – large integrated paper mills fall within

this segments that use hard wood /bamboo as the major fibrous raw material and are

equipped with full-fledged chemical recovery and effluent treatment system. This

segment contributes about 36% of the total production in India.

Segment based on Agro based raw materials – this segment includes medium and

small paper mills that used straws, bagasse, and other annual grasses as the cellulosic

fibrous raw material. Very few mills are equipped with chemical recovery system. This

segment contributes about 29% of the total production in India.

Segment based on recycled waste paper – this segment covers the medium and small

paper mills using waste paper as a major raw material and contributes nearly 35% of the

Indian total production.

There are only 33 large pulps and paper mills based on forest based raw materials with an

installed capacity of 2.8 million tones. Since 8 of these mills are closed, operating capacity of

these mills around 2.4 million tons of paper board and newsprint. This sector performed well

in the last financial year, snatching a capacity utilization of over 80% on the total operating

capacity

The medium and small Agro based /waste paper based mills produced nearly 3.6 million

tons of paper, paper board and newsprint against an operational capacity of nearly 5 million

tones, indicating capacity utilization around 70%.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES:

Paper manufacturers have had to manage margins by cost control, and this has limited

fresh investments and growth within the industry.

The industry needs large quantity of wood and water which often face supply

GKCE, SULLURPETA


limitations and are subject to environmental regulations.

Performance of the industry has also been constrained due to high cost of production

characterized by inadequate availability and high cost of raw materials and power.

KEY INDICATORS FOR THE GROWTH OF PAPER INDUSTRY:

The long-term outlook for the paper industry in India looks distinctly bright for a variety

of reasons .Literacy rates are expected to go up as a result of a dedicated fun arising out of the

education for primary and secondary education.

COMPANY PROFILE

HISTORY:

The very thought of setting up a paper mills at Rajahmundry was conceived by a retired

GKCE, SULLURPETA


forest officer in 1921. The mill was incorporated on 29thJune1964.The mill was commenced in

the year 1924 and the name of the Carnatic Paper Mills and Company Limited in the year

1929. But unfortunately the founder of the mill died in 1930 and the mill was closed.

The mill has much chequered history since many a time it was forced to remain closed in

1937. M/s Dayaram and sons took over industry but couldn’t survive and the machinery

continued to be idle till 1942. In 1942 M/s Apte and sons took over the management of

the mills unfortunately the mill was again closed in 1946 ultimately in the year 1953.The

Government of Andhra Pradesh took over the mill and started running till 1958.

In the year 1958 the planning commission decided to expand factory by investing loan of

23 crores through French Government. At that time the capacity of the mill was around ten tons

per day, which could not be achieved till it was taken over by the present management. The state

government decided to call and experienced paper manufacturing from the private sector and

handed over some of them consequently. The present management took over the mill and entered

in to the picture.

On the 11th July 1964 the mill was transferred to Bangur group. It is one of the first joint

sector enterprise in India with equal participation between the government, public and the West

Coastal Paper mills limited.

The new management has developed the mill production capacity from mere 30 tons

per day to an enormous 35,000 tons per annum in its first phase expansion and completed

expansion in 1969. Again by 1970’s the production was increased to 45,000 tons per annum and

by1978, 75,000 TPA. Later on due to introduction of new technology and modernization of mills

in various ways. Now its License capacity= 1, 44, 447 MT/Year and Installed capacity=98,500

MT/Year.

An additional capacity of 55,000 was added in 2000-2001 through acquisition of coastal

papers ltd, making a total of 1,53,500 TPA.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

Welfare helps in keeping the morale and motivation of the employees high so as

to retain the employees for longer duration. The welfare measures need not be in monetary

terms only but in any kind/forms. Employee welfare includes monitoring of working conditions,

creation of industrial harmony through infrastructure for health, industrial relations and

insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their families.

GKCE, SULLURPETA


Employee welfare entails all those activities of employer which are directed towards

providing the employees with certain facilities and services in addition to wages or salarie

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The main text of study is concentrated upon the importance of the welfare and safety and of employees at work places.

As a subject of welfare facilities is a very broad one covering a wide field of activities. In

the final analysis employee welfare services should include statutory and non-statutory welfare

facilities undertaken by employees, Government and also social security measures which

GKCE, SULLURPETA


contribute to workers welfare such as industrial health, insurance, gratuity, Provident Fund,

maternity benefits etc.

The role of the international labor organization and its working towards personnel

welfare and safety play vital role in improving industrial relations in the organization.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. To know about the welfare programs and safety measures provided by the company.2. To study the level of loyalty and morale of the employees in the organization.3. To know workers satisfaction regarding welfare activities.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

There are many practical problems while undergoing the study on the project although

the personnel of The APPM limited is very co-operative and helpful. They are bound by

their own rules and regulations. Many times concerned officers are busy in fulfilling their

targets and thereby a detailed data could not be provided to us. However, the extent

possible the information was collected and incorporated in this project.

GKCE, SULLURPETA


It was not exposed to very latest and detailed information about Senior Officer Salaries

and perks of the Mill.

The prejudices and biases of the sample respondents may also act as hindrances to the

study.

Due to shift timings, collecting information from some groups of the employees has

become difficult and not possible.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

EMPLOYEE WELFARE

Human Resource Management is one of the most complex and challenging fields of

management. It deals with the 'People Dimension' in management. Human Resources play a

very important role in the development of the business. They constitute the organization at all

levels and are regarded as a dynamic factor of production. Labor is considered as a very

dominant factor of production for increasing productivity. In order to get best results from the

employees, management must be aware of what employees expect from their employees. It is

for the management to see that the workers get economic, social and individual satisfaction,

employee welfare activities are undertaken.

The concept of ' employee welfare ' is flexible and elastic and differs widely with time,

region, industry, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the general economic

development of the people and political ideologies prevailing at a particular time, it is also

molded according to the age - group, sex, socio - cultural background, marital and economic

status and educational level of the workers in various industries.

Definition:

“Employee welfare has been defined in various ways, though unfortunately no single

definition has found universal acceptance. The Oxford Dictionary defines labor welfare as

“efforts to make life worth living for worker”

Chamber’s Dictionary defines welfare as “a state of faring or doing well; freedom from calamity, enjoyment of health, prosperity.”

GKCE, SULLURPETA


The ILO report refers to labor welfare as “such services, facilities, and amenities, which may be established in, or in the vicinity of undertakings to enable persons employed therein to perform their work in healthy and congenial surroundings and provided with amenities conducive to good health and high morale”.Employee welfare entails all those activities of employer which are directed towards providing the employees with certain facilities and services in addition to wages or salaries.

Employee welfare has the following objectives:

1. To provide better life and health to the workers

2. To make the workers happy and satisfied

3. To relieve workers from industrial fatigue and to improve intellectual, cultural and

material conditions of living of the workers.

The basic features of employee welfare measures are as follows:

1. Employee welfare includes various facilities, services and amenities provided to workers

for improving their health, efficiency, economic betterment and social status.

2. Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits

available to workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining

3. Employee welfare schemes are flexible and ever-changing. New welfare measures are

added to the existing ones from time to time.

4. Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers, government, employees or by

any social or charitable agency.

5. The purpose of labor welfare is to bring about the development of the whole personality

of the workers to make a better workforce.

GKCE, SULLURPETA


The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and

satisfied labor force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make

their work life better and also to raise their standard of living. The important benefits of welfare

measures can be summarized as follows:

They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy

work environment

Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation facilities

for workers’ families help in raising their standards of living. This makes workers to pay

more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity.

Employers get stable labor force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take active

interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation.

Employee welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote

healthy industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace.

The social evils prevalent among the labors such as substance abuse, etc are reduced to

a greater extent by the welfare policies.

FACTORIES ACT 1948

Organizations provide welfare facilities to their employees to keep their motivation

levels high. The employee welfare schemes can be classified into two categories viz. statutory

and non-statutory welfare schemes. The statutory schemes are those schemes that are

compulsory to provide by an organization as compliance to the laws governing employee health

and safety. These include provisions provided in industrial acts like Factories Act 1948, Dock

Workers Act (safety, health and welfare) 1986, Mines Act 1962. The non statutory schemes

differ from organization to organization and from industry to industry.
