CHAPTER -

1INTRODUCTIO

“Only when the employees are well the

organization can be well off”

The oxford Dictionary defines, Labour welfare as “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 a collective agreement or in the employer’s own initiative. An employer may
voluntarily initiate labour welfare measures.

Labour comprises all human efforts of body and mind, which is exchanged for a
consideration in terms of cash or kind or birth. Welfare is a broad concept, referring to a
condition of living of an individual or environmental friendly, existence, ecological, balance,
pollution free existence, and proper sanitation. Social welfare is the prevention of discrimination
based on cast, creed, sex, establishment of equity and fairness, ensuring safety health and social
security. The objects of economic welfare means increasing individual earning and at the same
time promote economic development of society by increasing production, productivity and
quality of product and services.

An Organization performance and resulting productivity are directly proportional to the

quantity and the quality of its human resources. In dealing with the inanimate factors of
production (i.e. physical and financial) a management can accurately predict the input – output
relationship and can even vary the factors it chooses in order to achieve the desired level of
production. But regarding workers, they can increase or desired level of production. But
regarding workers, they can increase or decrease the productivity as they choose. This human
quality gives rise to the need for positive motivation.

A motive is an inner state that energies, activates or moves and directs or channels
behavior towards the goal.

Motivation techniques may be financial or non financial. Bonus, incentives, increments,

is some of the financial motivational techniques. Labour welfare is a non-financial motivational
technique. For example housing, hospital, educationfacilities.

The Indian Labour Organization recommends in its resolution of 1974, the following
facilities for the welfare of the workers in its recommendation No.102.

a) Facilities for food and means in or near theundertaking.

b) Rest and recreation facilities provided by the undertaking (excluding holiday
facilities)and:
c) Transportation facilities to and from the place or work where ordinary public
transport is inadequate or impracticable.

The study team, appointed by the Government of India in 1959, to examine the labour
welfare activities then existing, divided the entire range of these activities into three groups
namely,

i. Welfare within the premises of an establishment medical aid, crèches, canteen,

precincts, and supply of drinking water.
 ii. Welfare outside the establishment of provision for indoor and outdoor recreation,
housing adult education, visual instructionsand

iii. Socialsecurity

The committees of Exports on welfare facilities for industrial workers convened by the
I.L.O. in 1963 divide welfare services into two groups.

a. Within the precincts of the establishmentand

b. Outside the establishment – but the total content of these activities was the same as
that included in the three groups mentionedabove.

The meaning of Workers welfare is “such services, facilities and amenities which may be
established in the vicinity of an undertaking to enable he persons employed in time to perform

their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and provide with amenities conducive to good
health and high Morale”.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Labour is an indispensable factor in industrial production. Any organization would be

effective only when there is high degree of co-operation between labour and management.
Management seeks cooperation of labour force by providing welfare facilities. These welfare
facilities go a long way in stimulating interest in the workers to produce at their full capacity and
pay a good return to the management in the long run. Therefore labour welfare activities act as
motivators and result in higher productivity and profits. It also enables the workers employed in
industries to perform their work in healthy. Congenial surrounding conductive to good health and
high morale.

Any attempt to increase the productivity of efficiency of labour, can bear fruit only if the
workers are given the right type of work environment and are provided with those basic
amenities of life which have direct industrial housing may be regarded as an important part of the
scheme for raising the efficiency of labour.

Labour welfare has become essential because of the very nature of the industrial system.
There could be multiple objectives in having a labour welfare programme. Labour welfare
operates to neutralize the harmful effects of large-scale industrialization and urbanization.

Provision of welfare amenities enables the workers to live a richer and more satisfactory
life and contributes to their efficiency and productivity. It also helps in maintaining industrial
peace.

The important labour enactments in India may be classified into the following six groups.

(a) Legislation on working conditions

i. Factories Act,1948
ii. The Contract Labour (Regulation andAbolition)

iii. Shops and Establishments Act enacted by various stateGovernment.

(b) Legislation onwages

i. The payment of wages Act1936.

ii. The minimum Wages Act1948

CHAPTER - 2

PROFILE OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY

TEXTILES AS A GROWING INDUSTRY

Textiles and woven fabrics are used worldwide in a wide variety of applications such as

the apparel industry, household textiles, and furnishings medical items, industrial uses and

technical products.

The global textile market stands high, with the fabric weaving consumption reaching

about 28 million tons of fibre every year. The figure is equivalent to over half of the global

textile market. It has been predicted that global production of woven products will grow by 25%

between 2002 to 2010 reaching more than 35 milliontons.

TEXTILE MACHINERY

The world economy is imprinted with rich history of the Textiles industry and its

evolution and progress since ages. Weaving is one of the oldest crafts that have survived till date,

dated back to the Neolithic ages, at most 12000 years back. It is true that man’s need for

clothing, since first sign of civilization and the spinning of wool fibre into yarn and the weaving

of cloth has led to development of new technology for the textileindustry.

EARLY SPINNING

The early textile fibers available for spinning into yarn and then weaving into cloth was

wool from the sheep. The spinning process used to be divided into two primary stages. The fluce
is opened to create a silver of fiber which can be drawn out to produce a fine thread. It used to be

then twisted into yarn. The yarn was afterwards wrapped on to a stick a flywheel added at the

lower end to produce a spindle. This led to the development of spinning wheel in India first and

then reached Europe during the late 14thcentury.

THE LOOM HISTORY

The first loom history is believed to have been simple with a straight tree branch running

parallel to the ground. The lengthwise wrap threads were hung from the branch weighted at their

lower ends and weft threads interlaced to create a rough textured cloth. It was later switched to

horizontal orientation. Leonardo Da Vinci is known to have designed a mechanical loom to be

driven by water power during AD 1080. The loom is of ancient origin, but first modern

invention to increase its efficiency was the flying shuttle patented by John Kay in1733.

METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

This section deals with description of methodology and the steps undertaken for

collection and organization of data and presenting the findings of investigation. The

methodology of research individuals the general pattern of organizing procedure for gathering

valid and reliable data for the purpose of investigation.

 The methodology of the study includes the description of research design, population,

sample size, sampling technique development and description of tool data collection procedure

and method analysis.

METHODOLOGY

The validity of research mainly depends on the proper method data collection and

suitable technique of analysis. Data – interpretation is used for the statistical analysis. Any

estimate in the study is generalized only when the design of the study is properlyexecuted.

Primary data

The study is mainly based on primary data. First hand information is collected by well

structured questionnaire. Convenient sampling method is adopted in the selection of respondents.

Information is obtained from the sample of 50 respondents.

Secondary data
Secondary data include various, journal, newspapers and management which
provide valuable information relating to the topic. The data collected is tabulated further.

Research Design

The research design is the arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of data in

a manner that assists to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.

The design used in the project is study is descriptive type. It contains surveys and fact
findings, enquiries. The major purpose of this research is description of the state of affairs, as it
exists at present.

Sampling technique
 Sampling is the process of obtaining information about entire population by examining

only a part of it. Stratified random sampling technique is used in this study from the population

samples are picking up randomly.

Sample Size

The sample size is 100

Tools used for interpretation

The following tools are used for interpretation.

 PercentageAnalysis

 Chi – SquareTest

Chi – square test

Chi – square test is applied in statistics to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution

of observed data with assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore, it is a measure to study the

divergence of actual and expected frequencies. It has great use in statistics. Specially in sampling

studies, where we expect a doubted coincidence between actual and expected frequencies and the

extent to which the difference can be ignored because of fluctuations in sampling.

If there is no difference between the actual and expected frequencies 2is zero. Thus, the

chi-square test describes the discrepancy between theory and observation.

The 2may be defined as

2 =  (O – E)2

O = Observedfrequencies
 E = Expectedfrequencies

Degrees of freedom = (R-1) (C-1)

Where

O = Observed frequency

E = Expected frequency

R = No. of rows

C = No. of columns

The expected frequency is calculated by using the following formula

Row Total x Column Total Grand Total

E = r
