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 employers own initiative.
To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.
To win over employees 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.

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.

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 superiors raw material the
GKCE, SULLURPETA
Page 4

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.
GKCE, SULLURPETA
Page 7
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%.
PRODUCT INFORMATION:
GLOBAL WISE:
The global paper industry can broadly divided as follows

EMPLOYMENT:
Paper Industry employees directly 23-30 persons per 1000 tones of annual capacity and
indirectly a vast labor force in forest and other related areas. The employment potential residues
are 50-75 per 1000 tones of annual capacity.
PAPER INDUSTRY IN ANDHRA PRADESH:
Andhra Pradesh is the Second State, after Maharashtra producing more than 2,500 tons of
paper of paper per day. In Andhra Pradesh totally there are 21 units with total installed
capacity of 4, 48,320 TPA. In Andhra Pradesh there are 4 big paper mills and the remaining are
small paper mills based as their installed capacity.
The four big Mills are:
1. The Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Ltd.
2. Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd.
3. Sri Rayalaseema Paper Mills Ltd.
4. Bhadrachalam Paper Mills Ltd.
The production capacity of these mills in about 2.5 lakh tones. The total production of
Andhra Pradesh comes to about one fourth of Indias total production which is really a great
achievement.

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
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
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 couldnt 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 1970s the production was increased to 45,000 tons per annum and
GKCE, SULLURPETA
Page 13

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.
The APPM ltd is now the 4th largest integrated pulp and paper manufacturer in India.

MANUFACTURING:
There are six paper machines having manufacturing capacity ranging from 10TPD to
120 TPD manufacturing different gram ages of paper ranging from 28 to 250 GSM. To meet the
pulp requirement, APPM has an integrated pulp mill with three chippers of 25 Tons/Hr chipping
capacity each and thirteen vertical digesters of about 80 -m3 capacities each. APPM adopts
Kraft (sulphate) pulping process.
Pulp screening and washing is carried through modern energy efficient belt washing
system of 320 TPD chemi-washers. Bleaching of pulp is carried in two streets of bleach plants of
150 TPD capacities each. The bleaching sequence adopted is CEPHD in one bleach plant and
C/DEPDEPD/SO2 in the other to produce two grades of bleached pulp that is 83+/- 1% and 86+/1% brightness pulps. The company has adequate infrastructure viz. Water treatment plant boiler,
house and turbine house to provide uninterruptedly the required utilities like water, steam and
power. The soda recovery sections recover the cooking chemicals in the spent liquor from the
pulp mill.
SOCIAL FORESTRY:
APPM could visualize the steep decline in raw material from conventional forests as
early as 80s. To face anticipated difficult days, steps were taken to achieve raw materials
sufficiency and sustained availability in future through:
Altering technological parameters to utilize more hardwood.
Formulated an ambitious form forestry schemes emphasizing.
Conservation of natural resources and healthier environment.
Massive plantations on marginal and degraded form lands.
Create former and eco friendly environment.
GKCE, SULLURPETA

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.
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

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.

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.
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
Chambers Dictionary defines welfare as a state of faring or doing well; freedom from
calamity, enjoyment of health, prosperity.
GKCE, SULLURPETA
Page 36

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
Page 37

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.

SUGGESTIONS:
In order to motivate personnel by all means to improve the interpersonal relationships
and create zeal to work more for organizational growth, every department should conduct
regular meeting.
The canteen managing committee must implement certain measures to improve the
quality of food supplied in the canteen.
Management should consider employee suggestions on welfare activities.
Sufficient numbers of spittoons are to be placed in convenient places and are to be
maintained in a clean and hygienic condition.
Expansion of the cycle and scooter stands at the colonies is to be considered, as it is not
sufficient to place the vehicles at the present stands.
Bus transport facility is to be provided to the employees to make them reach the factory
in time.
It is suggested that the organization should provide uniform for the regular contract
employees as provided for the permanent employees.

CONCLUSION
At last I conclude that the project report undertaken by me is satisfactory and the work
has got very good response from the respondents. In the process majority of the respondents are
very positive towards the facilities. According to my research organization should consider the
employee suggestions and it should focus on improving the quality of the food provided in the
canteen, and is to finalize that all the employees are provided with better facilities by the
company.
