CHANDRA and SING (1983) found that the condition under which brick kiln workers live subhuman. There were no rest hours and workman in klin was made to work even in the advanced stage of pregnancy.

PRASAD (1984) pointed out that in many mines in Bihar workers were provided with facilities for drinking water, toilets and other facilities.

A series of study carried out by the labour bureau of India in a variety of industries showed a large of women working in Menes did not have separate arrangements, latrines and rest rooms shelters and crches were in neglected condition (1979).

NATIONAL COMMISSION (1969) The report of this commission was appointed in 1966 had reviewed many aspects of labour welfare in India such as existing conditions of labour. Legislative measures available to protect their interest level of workers earnings, standard of living and various welfare facilities, canteens, crches, housing, transportation, recreational facilities, provisions.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION:

Research is the process of systematic and in-depth study or search for any Particular topic, subject or area of investigation, backed by collection, Compilation, presentation and interpretation of relevant details or data. Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done Scientifically.

Research may develop hypothesis and test it. In it we study the various Steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research Problem along with the logic behind them.

Research must be based on fact observable data forms a sound basis for Research inductive investigation lead better support to research finding for Analyzing facts a scientific methodology of analysis must be developed and Result interpreted logically.

It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research method or techniques but also the methodology. Thus, when we talk of research Methodology we not only talk of the research methods but also consider the Logic behind the methods we use in the context of our research study and Explain why we are using a particular method or technique and why we are Not using others so that research results are capable of being evaluated Either by the researcher himself or by others.

Research problems would result in certain conclusions by means of logical Analysis which the decision-maker may use for his action or solution.

RESEARCH DESIGN:

After formulating the problem the research design has to be Prepared. Preparation of research design involves selection of means of Obtaining information, time available for research and selection of Method of tabulation & presentation of data.

The research of my project is descriptive study. I have obtained Information by the HODof the HR Department and some of the Employees of the organization & also from annual reports of company, Newspapers, magazines and websites. The way of selecting a sample is known as the sample design. Here the researcher used Simple Random Sampling.

SAMPLING DESIGN: Sampling is the process of selecting a sufficient number of elements from the population, so that a study of the sample and an understanding of its properties or characteristics would make it possible for us to generalize such properties or characteristics to the population elements. Descriptive research design: It provides description of something. It is undertaken in order to ascertain and describe the characteristics of variables of interest in a particular situation. It is a preplanned and structure design Descriptive research design is used in this project SAMPLING TECHNIQUES:

The sampling technique used for carrying out this study is RANDOM Sampling technique.

SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING :{ meaning]: Simple Random Sampling is the foundation of probability sampling. Its a special case of probability sampling in which every unit in the population has an equal chance of being included in a sample. Simple random sampling also makes the selection of every possible combination of the desired number of units likesly.sampling may be done with or without replacement SAMPLE UNIT: Worker in GRASIM INDUSTRIES .LTD at Chennai. A smallest non-divisible part of the population is called a unit. A unit should be well defined and should not be ambiguous. TARGET POPULATION: The total population is 200 in GRASIM INDUSTRIES.LTD in Chennai.

SAMPLE SIZE: A Sample of 100 was taken from the workers. A finite subset of a population is a sample and the number of units in a sample is called its sample size. HYPOTHESIS:

Employees of GRASIM INDUSTRIES.LTD are found to be satisfied with the Welfare facilities provided by their organization. SAMPLING METHOD: The statistical tools used such percentage; diagrams, Chi-square test& one way ANOVA F test have been used.

CHI SQUARE TEST :

The Chi square test amongst the several tests of significance developed by statisticians. A very powerful testing the significance of the discrepancy between theory and experiment is given by Prof. Karl Pearson in the year 1990 and is known as Chi-square test of goodness

of fit .
It enables us to find it the deviation of the experiment from theory is just by chance (or) is it really due to inadequacy of the theory to fit the observed data. If Oi (I = 1,2,3n) is a set of observed [experimental / frequencies] and E (I = 1,2,3) is the corresponding set of expected [theoretical or hypothetical] frequencies then Karl Pearsons Chi square given by

The Chi square is applicable in large number of problems. The test is in fact a technique through the use of researchers to test the goodness of fit, test the significance of association between two attributes and test the homogeneity or the significance of popular varience.

One-Way ANOVAFTest:

The t test is commonly used to test the equality of two population means when the data are composed of two random samples. We wish to extend this procedure so that the equality of r 2 population means can be tested using r independent samples. Thus the hypothesis and the alternative are

H 0 : 1 2 ... r H1 : at least two means are not equal

Where j , j 1, 2,..., r is the mean of the jth population. In designing an experiment for a one-way classification, units are assigned at random to any one of the r treatments under investigation. For this reason, the one-way classification is sometimes referred to as a completely randomized design.

II.

FINDING RELATED TO HYPOTHESIS :

FINDINGS:

1. The finding reveals that there is no significant between respondents age and job satisfactions. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted. 2. The finding reveals that there is no significant between respondents gender and welfare measure help to solve the problem. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted. 3. The finding reveals that there is no significant between respondent

educational qualification and relevant job. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted. 4. The finding reveals that there is no significant between re3spondent experience and job security. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted. 5. The finding reveals that there is no significant between respondents age and promotional policy. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted. 6. The finding reveals that there is no significant between respondent salary and company offering good salary. Hence the null hypothesis is to be accepted.
