INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION

“Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions”. Employee welfare means the efforts to
make life worth living for workman.

“Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions”. People are the most important asset
of an organization, and the accounting profession has to assess and record the value and cost of
people of an organization. Once this is accepted, the need for measuring the value for recording
it in the books of accounts arises. The value of human assets can be increased substantially by
making investment in their training and welfare activities in the same way as the value of repairs/
overhauling, etc.

While the cost on training, development, etc., can be recorded separately and to be within the
eventual, the expenditure on welfare activities can be added to the ‘investment’ and the returns
judged. Unlike other assets which have depreciation value as year’s passes by, value of human
assets appreciates with passing years. The value can depreciate by aging process which is
generally hastened up by worries, unhealthy conditions, etc. once this process is slowed down, or
at least if the employee is made to feel ‘young in spirits’ the value of this asset appreciates
considerably.

Any investment constitutes the assets of a company and therefore, any investment for welfare of
labor would constitute an extra investment in an asset. Industrial progress depends on a satisfied
labor force and the importance of labor welfare measures was stressed as early as1931, when the
Royal Commission on labor stated ‘the benefits which go under this nomenclature, are of great
importance to the worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The schemes of labor
welfare may be regarded as a “wise investment” which should and usually does bring a
profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.
The basic features of labor welfare measures are as follows:

1. Labor 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. Labor 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.

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.

The concept of ‘labor welfare’ is flexible and elastic and differs widely with times, regions,
industry, country, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the general socio-
economic development of the people and the political ideologies prevailing at particular
moments. It is also according to the age group, socio-cultural background, marital status,
economic status and educational level of the workers in various industries.

1.1.5 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Definition of Research

“The manipulation of things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend,
correct or verity knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the
practice of an art.”
- D.Slesinger and M.Stephenson

1.1.5.1 RESEARCH DESIGN:

A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.
Regarding this project, descriptive research design concern with describing the perception of
each individuals or narrating facts on welfare measures and diagnostic design helps in determine
the frequency with which something occurs or it’s associated with something else. These two
research design help in understand the characteristic in a given situation. Think systematically
about aspects in given situation, offers idea for probe and research help to make certain simple
decision.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

In this research it deals with descriptive research type. It includes surveys and fact-finding
enquiries of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the
state of affairs as it exists at present.

1.1.5.2 SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is a definite plan determined before any data are actually collected
for obtaining a sample from a given population. Sampling is used to collect data from limited
numbers whereas census is used for large numbers. For the research, sampling method was used.
 There are different types of sample design based on two factor namely the representation
basis and the element selection technique .There are two main categories under which various
sampling method can be put. There are

1. Probability sampling
2. Non probability sampling
In this particular research the A study is on probability sampling. And in the simple random
sample is used.

PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
Probability sampling is based on the concept of random selection; the sample may be
either unrestricted or restricted. When each sample elements is drawn individually from the
population at large, then the sample so drawn is known as ‘unrestricted sample’, Where as all
other forms of sampling are covered under the term ‘restricted sample’.
The most frequently used probability samples are:
 Simple random sample
 Systematic sample
 Stratified sample (proportionate & disproportionate)
 Cluster sample

NON- PROBABILITY SAMPLING:

Non-probability sampling is that sampling procedure which does not afford any basis for
estimating the probability that each item in the population has of being included in the sample.
 Judgment sampling
 Convenient sampling
 Quota sampling.
 Snowball sampling

SAMPLING METHOD

In this research systematic sampling method is used to collect the primary data by
using questionnaire.
SYSTEMATIC SAMPLING

A Systematic sample is selected at random sampling. When a complete list of the population is
available, this method is used. If a sample of 10 students is to be selected from 100 students,
under this method kth item is picked up from the sample frame and k is the sample interval.

POPULATION SIZE

The over all population size is 500 .

SAMPLE SIZE:

The total sample size of 110 has been taken for this study. Both male and female
employees have been interviewed.

1.1.5.3 DATA COLLECTION METHOD

Primary Source of Data

Primary data is known as the data collected fro the first time through field survey. Such
data are collected with specific set of objectives to assess the current status of any variable
studied.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT:

In this project, the data were collected through structured questionnaire.

QUESTIONNAIRE

A questionnaire is a schedule consisting of a number of coherent and formulated

series of question related to the various aspects of the under study. In this method a pre – printed
list of question arranged in sequence is used to elicit response from the important.

Types of questions

The following are the types of questions, which are used in research. They are:

a) Open ended question

b) Close ended question
a) Open ended questionnaire:
An open-ended question gives the respondents complete freedom to decide the form
length and detail of the form.

b) Close ended questionnaire:

The close-ended question is of two types they are as follows:
i) Dichotomous question
This type has only tow answers in the form of “YES” or “NO”, “TRUE” or
“FALSE” etc…

ii) Multiple – choice question.

In this case the respondents are offered two or mores choices and the respondent
have to indicate which is applicable in the following cases.

1.1.5.4 STATISTICAL TOOLS APPLIED

 Percentage Analysis
 Weighted Average
 One-way ANOVA

PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:

Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentage analysis test is done to find out the
percentage of the response of the respondents. In these tool various percentage are presented by
the way of Bar-diagram, Pie charts in order to have better understanding of the analysis.

FORMULA:

Number of respondents

Percentage = ------------------------------------------------ × 100

Total number of respondent

WEIGHTED AVERAGE:

Mean in which each item being averaged is multiplied by a number (weight) based on the
item's relative importance. The result is summed and the total is divided by the sum of the
weights. Weighted averages are used extensively in descriptive statistical analysis such as index
numbers. Also called weighted mean.
FORMULA:

WEIGHTED AVERAGE = ΣWXi / ΣWi

ΣWXi = The sum of weights (let x1, x2, x3… xn)

ΣXi = occur with weights (w1, w2, w3…wn)

ONE-WAY ANOVA:

Under the one-way ANOVA, we consider only one factor and then observe that the reason for
said factor to be important is that several possible types of samples can occur within that factor .

This ratio is used to judge whether the difference among several means is significant or is just a
matter of sampling fluctuations.
1.1.6 LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

 Time is the important limitation. Due to time constraints only limited population is taken

for the study.

 Findings based on this study cannot be used in other organizations.

 There are chances of misrepresentation responses.

 The biased view of the respondent is another cause of the limitation

1.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

P.L. Rao, in his “Labour Legislation in the Making”, opines that professional bodies like
National Institute of Personnel Management should constitute a standing committee to monitor
the proceedings in the Parliament regarding the labour welfare measures.

“Cooperative Unionism and Employee Welfare” by Michael R. White , (University of

Westminster - Policy Studies Institute) , Industrial Relations Journal, Vol. 36, No. 5, pp. 348-
366, September 2005.

Using British national survey data, this article assesses the impact of unions on management
practices to reduce labour costs, implement high-performance work systems, and make employee
welfare provisions. Relative to non-union workplaces, those with unions are found to have
practices which are consistent with 'mutual gains' outcomes.

“Staff development and employee welfare practices and their effect on productivity”

Ghana Library Journal Vol. 19 (1) 2007 pp. 83-96

Staff development and employee welfare are valuable assets in an organization since an
organization's primary aims are productivity and profitability. Every organization primarily
needs committed and dedicated staff that will help the organization to meet its tactical and
strategic objectives.

The study examines whether staff development policies exist in three special libraries in Ghana,
and whether training programmes are being offered to increase staff competence, efficiencies
and performance. It was also aimed at assessing staff welfare practices and how these affect
productivity and performance.

In conducting the survey, two sets of questionnaires were drawn up. One set was administered to
management and the other set went to Library staff. The survey revealed that all the
organizations under study have staff development policies and training programmes for staff to
enhance their capabilities and efficiency. Again, the survey revealed that staff welfare is catered
for since several motivational avenues and incentive packages are available to boost their morale.

1.2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

The railways were introduced in the country in the 1853by the British almost
immediately after it appeared in England. From a modest beginning of 53 kms between Mumbai
and Thane, the railways have made a long journey and emerged as the principal mode of
transport in the country. After Independence, the railways of the country were totally integrated
and brought under the unified management of the Railway Board. Today, the Indian Railways
(IR) has a network spread over 63,000 route kms. And 7000 stations throughout the length and
breadth of the country. It carries 12 million passengers and more than 1.2 million tons of freight
daily, accounting roughly for 40 per cent of the freight and 2 percent of the passenger traffic in
the country.

INDIAN RAILWAYS:

Indian railways are the second largest railway network in the world, bringing people and
places together. Indian Railway plays a pivotal role in the growth of our country’s economy. For
functional efficiency the Indian Railways is divided in to 16 zonal railways comprising 67
divisions and 6 production units with Railway Board on top of the overall management
hierarchy.

Indian Railways, with 62,000 kilometer of route are the world’s second largest railway
system under a single management in the four decades. Since independence Indian railways has
played a vital role in the socio-economic development of the country as well as preserving its
unity and integrity, by linking together the diver’s regions through its vast growth and also
contributing to the countries defense preparation.
Our railway system continues to be the main lifeline of the country carrying the bulk of long
distance passengers and goods traffic with an ascent on the volume of the traffic moved rather
than the attainment of the high speeds.

INDIAN RAILWAYS SETUP AT A GLANCE:

Indian Railways are the larger national under taking of Government of India
Transportation of men and material on an extensive scale is their business. Their capitals assets
are approximately Rs.6000 crore. Railways set the face for industrial development, which
depends on transportation. They also help to balance the economy of the country and promote
economic growth. In view of the above importance, a separate railways Ministry has been
formed at the central level. The railways board assists the Railway Ministry.

The integral coach factory at Perambur (Tamilnadu) and the newly set up Rail Coach
Factory at Kapurthala in Punjab significantly contributed to the redesigning of second class and
sleeper coaches for better passenger comfort. These two coach factories also helped the Indian
Railway introduce AC2 tier/AC3 tiers and AC Chair

LIST OF PRODUCTION UNIT:

The Indian Railways was formed from various production units that are deployed in
different states of our country. They are described below:

CLW;-

Diesel Locomotive works (CLW) at Chittaranjan in West Bengal manufactures various

Electric locomotives.

DLW:-

Diesel locomotive works (DLW) at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh manufacturers Diesel

locomotives.
ICF:-

Integral Coach Factory (ICF) at Chennai in Tamil Nadu manufactures the different
passenger coaches.

1.2.2 COMPANY PROFILE

Integral coach factory is a famous manufacturing unit of rail coaches. The integral coach
often called as ICF was first inaugurated by the former Prime minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru in the year 1955. The factory is located at Perambur in Chennai. At the initial stages this
coach factory manufactured seven third class railway shells and now it has grown into a unit with
a capacity to roll out more than thousands of fully furnished coaches. ICF is ISO-9000 and ISO-
14000 certified company.

There are around 13000 employees in ICF. It is organized into 8 functional departments,
spanning across two divisions – the Shell and the Furnishing divisions. The departments are:
General Administration, Accounts, Electrical, Civil Engineering, Mechanical, Medical,
Personnel, Security and Stores.

Initial the production was planned to assemble 200 no’s of coaches wing to assemble
received from the collaborators in knockdown condition and later this was followed by regular
manufacture of coach’s right from the detailed components.

As it was felt the coaches turned out of ICF could be furnished most economically
instead being sent to various railways to be furnished in their workshop. Railway ministry took a
decision to build a furnished annexed to the integral coach factory, so that every coach built in
this factory could turn out fully furnished.

The ICF, which spread over areas of 193.47 hectares of land. For administration purpose
ICF has been divided into two divisions.

 Shell Division
  Furnishing Division

SHELL DIVISION

The coach manufacturing starts from shell division, where the body shell and bogie
assemblies are done. A body shell assembly is of all welded integrated design, and it consists of
under frame side wall, roof and end wall assemblies. A shell made of one body shell fitted on
two bogies.

A sheet metal shop produces all sheet metal items required for the manufacture of under
frame, side wall, end wall and roof.

 A main assembly shop assembles the under frame, side wall, end wall and roof to
form a tube like shell.
 Final assembly, painting of the shell and fitment of air brake arrangement are
done in the final assembly shop.
 Bogies are manufactured by assembling bogie bolster, wheel sets, axle box and
spring together.
The body shells fitted on the bogies is dispatched to furnishing division for furnishing work.

FURNISHING DIVISION

When the factory was initially planned, it was decided that coach shells produced would
be furnished in railway workshops. With the increasing tempo of activities under the second five
year plan and consequent increase in work load in the railway workshops, Railway Board
decided in 1956 to setup a furnishing annexed to ICF so that the factory could deliver complete
coaches ready for service instead of steels shells only. Preliminary examination work for setting
up the Rs.3.69 crores furnishing unit was taken in hand on 17.02.1956 and the first furnished
coach was flagged off by shri.K.Awarup, CAO(R) on 16.01.1962, formally declared the division
open. The furnishing of coach is done in ten stages, via., flooring, wiring, paneling on side wall,
window fixing, partition paneling, plumbing, floor molding, lights and fans and seats, berth and
racks fixing and buffer height adjustment.

To meet the increased demand of the Zonal Railways, production was gradually stepped
up in ICF. In stepping up of the production, the production plan was recast for diversity
production. This factory is now geared to produce a number of varieties of Broad Gauge, Meter
Gauge and Electrical multiple unit stocks, including cars and air conditioned coaches, Double
Decker coaches as well as track recording cars. This factory has already produced coaches of
sixty different designs.
