ABOUT INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Industrial Relations is a dynamic socio-economic process. It a designation of a whole field of relationship that exists because of the necessary collaboration of men and women in the employment process of industry. It is not the cause but an effect of social, political and economic forces. Economists have traditionally identified four factors of production, viz.,land labour, capital and organization. The role of labour as a factor of production is becoming increasingly important in the modern society. Capital and natural resource endowments, no doubt, are vital elements in the production process but it is labour which contributes most to the wealth of a company. Human beings are the active agents who accumulate capital, exploit natural resources, build social, economic and political organizations and carry forward national development. Growing industrialization and the rapid expansion of the services sector resulted in the galloping demand for skilled labour after 50s. The emergence of the concept of human relations, human resource management (HRM) and human resource development (HRD) contributed to the growing importance of labour. The issue of INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS arose from the issue of divorce of the workers from the ownership and management of the production process. This has brought about a sense of deprivation and loss of independence on the part of workers and is probably the primary cause of industrial disputes. Industrial work has drastically reduced the independence of workers and made them mere cogs in the machine a kind of second class citizens. The disciplinary rules for work have become quite harsh and arbitrary. The heterogeneous nature of workers, illiteracy and politicization of trade unions made it impossible for the workers to bargain for their rights unitedly. All these factors have led to growing unrest among the rank of workers.
there are two parties in the employment relationship labour and management. Both parties need to work in a spirit of cooperation, adjustment and accommodation. In their own mutual interest certain rules for co-existence are formed and adhered to. Over the years, the State has also come to play a major role in INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS one, as an initiator of policies and the other, as an employer by setting up an extremely large public sector. There are points to examination of the Industrial Relations: Employer-Employee interactions: Industrial Relations arise out of employeremployee interactions. These relations cannot exist without the basic building blocks, i.e., the employer and on one side and the employees on the other side. Web of rules: Industrial Relations are a web of rules formed by the interaction of the government, the industry and the labour. They include the relations between employer and employees and between employers` associations, trade union as well as the State. Multidimensional: Industrial Relations are fairly multi-dimensional in nature as they are influenced, by a complex set of institutional, economic and technological factors. Dynamic and changing: Industrial Relations change with the times, generally keeping pace with the expectations of employees, trade union, employers` associations, and other economic and social institution in a society. Spirit of compromise and accommodation: The Industrial Relations system is characterized by forces of conflict and compromise on either side. In the large interests of society, both the employer and the employees must put out fires amicably and get along with each other in a spirits of compromise and accommodation. The individual differences and disagreements must be dissolved through persuasion and even pressure. The factors responsible for conflictful situations need to be resolved through constructive means. Governments role: The government influences and shapes Industrial Relations with the help of laws, rules, agreements, awards of courts and emphasis on usages, customs, traditions, as well as the implementation of its policies and interference through executive and judicial machinery. Wide coverage: The scope of Industrial Relations is wide enough to cover a vast territory comprising of grievances, disciplinary measures,
ethics, standing orders, collective bargaining, participatory schemes, dispute settlement mechanisms etc. Interactive and consultative in nature: Industrial Relations include individual relations and joint consultation between labour, management.

3) It is possible that respondents might have tried to maintain consistency in terms of their responses. 4)time of 4-6 weeks are also very less for the study.
CONCLUSION
ABC is growing at a very good place .As from graphs it is clear that the industrial relation operation in ABC Ltd. is effective one.There are different kind of welfare schemes like weekly rest ,medical allowance, death relief fund are provided by the company to the employees to maintain the industrial relation better one . Instead of all that there is also a effective grievance handling machinery for maintaning it.
SUGGESTIONS
If the employees are in good condition then it drives their capability to give maximum output to the company. Amrit Banaspati Co.Ltd. had successfully accomplished their target to uplift the standards of the people but somewhere they lag behind to give proper insight into the true benefits availed to the people. In this context I want to suggest some points that are more or less based on my findings. 1)Implementation of the Code of Discipline. 2) I also found that there is no medical Officer. This is needed to provide quick action in case of any accident. 3)there should be need of improvement in recreation facilities provided by the ABC Ltd. 4)there should need to increase the retirement benefits provided by the ABC Ltd.
