CHAPTER – I
INTRODUCTION
Page 1
INTRODUCTION:
A close observation of Employees reveals that they are complex beings i.e., a)
Physiological b) Psychologicalc) Sociological and d) Ethical beings. The Physical and
Mental attributes of human resources are highly pertinent to Organizational
performance and productivity. It is important to note that the Employee in an
Organization are not to be viewed as static individuals since quantity as well as quality
of Human Resources are modified by such environmental factors as Education,
Training, Development etc.. If Human factors are properly utilized it may even prove a
dynamic motivating force for running an organization other-wise it becomes Passive and
Destructive force. The Modern HR-Practices is concerned not only to provide able and
willing work-force to attain employer goals but also with the employee fulfillment of
Economic, Social and Psychological needs and with general Society which demands
contribution of minimization of socio-economic evils and maximization of social and
economic welfare of its members particularly the deprived and weaker sections.
EMPLOYEE-WELFARE:
DEFINITION AND MEANING:

It is defined as the measures and motivating forces of employers designed to
bring out the effective-performance of human resources which results in the welfare of
the employee, his family members and the productivity of the organization’s operating
activities.
The various extra Benefits provided to employees, in addition to the
compensation paid in the form of wage or salary.
Cockmar, defined employee welfare as, “those benefits which are provided by
an employer to of for the benefit of an employee and which are not in the form of wages,
salaries and time-related payments.”
Different terms are used to denote welfare measures they are social charges,
social security measures, supplements, sub-wages, employee benefits, etc.
The ILO described ‘fringe-benefits’ as: “wages are often augmented by special
cash benefits, by the provision of medical and other services or by payments in kind,
that forms part of the wage for expenditure on the goods and other services.

OBJECTIVE’S:
The important objectives of Employee-Welfare are:
(1) To create and improve sound industrial relations.
(2) To boast up employee morale.
(3) To motivate the employees by identifying and satisfying their unsatisfied
needs.
(4) To provide qualitative work environment and work life.
(5) To provide security to the employees against social risks like old age benefits
and maternity benefits.
(6) To protect the health of the employees and to provide safety to the
employee’s againstaccidents.
(7) To promote employee’s welfare measures like recreation facilities.
(8) To create a senses of belongingness among employees and to retain them.
(9) To meet requirement of various legislations relating to fringe benefits.
FACTORS INFLUENCING EMPLOYEE-WELFARE:

A number of factors influence the program of employee benefits. The important among
them are:
(1) Absolute and per capita cost of fringe benefits.
(2) Organization financial ability to provide the benefits.
(3) Employees deficiencies of needs.
(4) The bargaining strength of trade unions.
(5) Tax benefits to the organization and individual employees.
(6) Tax benefits to the organization and individual employees.
(7) Need for building public image for the organization.
(8) Organization’s awareness and policy towards social responsibility.
(9) Employees reactions to the benefits.

SCOPE:
The term “Employee welfare” covers bonus, social security measures, retirement
benefits like provident fund, gratuity, pension, workmen’s compensation, housing,
medical, canteen, co-operative credit, consumer stores, educational facilities,
recreational facilities, financial advice and so on. Thus, Employee welfare cover a
number of employee services and facilities provided by an employer to his employer to
his employees and in some cases to their family members also. Welfare of employee
and his family members is an effective advertising and also a method of buying the
gratitude and loyalty of employees. But, while some employers provide these services
over and above the legal requirements to make effective use of their work force, some
restrict themselves to those benefits which are legally required.
Managements motivate the employees to work efficiently and contribute their
human resources to a maximum extent. Individuals enhance their contributions in order
to achieve organizational goals. Achievement of organizational objectives enables the
managements to provide more benefits and rewards to the employees. These in turn
help to achievement of individual objectives.
In addition to welfare benefits, managements provide different types of non-
monetary rewards. These non-monetary rewards include:
(i)Treats cover free lunches, festival bashes, coffee breaks, picnics, dinner with
theboss, dinner for the family, birthday treats.
(ii)Knick-Knacks cover desk accessories, company watches, tie-pins, broaches,
diaries/planners, calendars, wallets and T-shirts.
(iii) Awards include trophies, plaques, citations, certificates, scrolls, and letters of
appreciation.
(iv) Social Acknowledgement includes informal recognition, recognition at office
get-together, socialization of advice, suggestions etc.
(v) Office Environment cover redecoration, flexible hours etc.
(vi) Tokens covers movie tickets, vacation trips, early time-offs etc.
(vii) On-the job rewards include increased responsibility, job rotation, training etc.

NEED FOR EXTENDING EMPLOPYEE WELFARE MEASURES:
During the worldwar-II certain non-monetary benefits were extended to
employees asmeans of neutralizing the effect of inflationary condition. These benefits
which includehousing, health, education, recreation, credit, canteen, etc., have been
increased from timeto time as a result of these demands and pressures from trade
unions. It has beenrecognized that these benefits help employees in meeting some of
their life’s contingenciesand to meet the social obligations of employers.
Most of the organizations have been extending the benefits of their employees,
year afteryear for the following reasons:
(i) Employee’s Demand’s: Employees demand more and varied types of
benefits rather than pay hike because of reduction in tax burden on the part of
employees and in view of the galloping price index and cost of living.
(ii) Trade Union’s Demands: Trade Unions compete with each other for
getting more and anew variety of fringed benefits to their members such as life-
insurance, beauty clinics. If one union succeeds in getting one benefit, the other union
persuades management to provide a new model fringe. Thus, the competition among
trade unions within an organization results in more and varied benefits.
(iii) Employer’s Preference: Employers prefer fringe benefits to pay hike, as
fringe benefits motivate the employees for better contribution to the organization. It
improves morale and works as an effective advertisement.
(iv) As a Social Security: Social Security is a security that society furnishes
through appropriate organization against certain risks to which its members are
exposed. These risks are contingencies of life like accidents and occupational diseases.
Employer has to provide various benefits like safety measures, compensation in case of
involvement of workers in accidents, medical facilities etc., with a view to provide
security to his employee’s against various contingencies.
(v) To Improve Human Relations: Human Relations are maintained when
the employees are satisfied economically, socially and psychologically. Fringe benefits
satisfy the workers economic, social and psychological needs. Consumer stores, credit
facilities, canteen, recreational facilities etc., satisfy the workers social needs, where-as
retirement benefits satisfy some of the psychological problems about the post-
retirement life. However, most of the benefits minimize economic problems of the
employee. Thus, fringe benefits improve Human Relations.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY:
SOCIAL SECURITY:
The wages paid to the employees, particularly of the lower level may not be
sufficient to meet their needs like medical, children education, maternity needs of
women employees and employee’s and employee wives etc. Therefore, Governments
of many Governments of various countries insist the employers to provide the security
to their employees against the social evils. In addition, Governments also provide social
security measures to the people.
MEANING:
According to Lord Beveridge, social security, “is an attack on five giants viz.,
want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness.’ This concept is related to social justice
and equality. ILO (International Labor Organization) defines social security as, “the
security that society furnishes, through appropriate organization against certain risks to
which its members are exposed …. Social security is designed to prevent and cure
disease, to support when people are unable to earn and restore to gainful employment.
EVOLUTION:
There are two main aspects social security viz., social assistance and social
insurance. ILO defines SOCIAL ASSISTANCE as, “a service or scheme which provides
benefits to persons of small means as of right in amount sufficient to meet minimum
standards of need and financed from taxation upon it. Thus, social assistance is the
obligation of the community or the Government.
SOCIAL INSURANCE:
Beveridge defines social insurance as, “The giving in return for contribution,
benefits up to subsistence level, as of right and without means-tests, so that an
individual may build freely upon it. Thus social insurance implies that it is compulsory.
METHODOLOGY:

PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION
PROFILE OF THE COMPANY
Page 9
ORIGIN OF SCCL:
The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is the oldest public sector company
in India, carrying the coalmining activities in the Godavari valley of Andhra Pradesh
and catering to the needs of consumers in southern India.
The Origin of SCCL may be traced back to the year 1871, where the coal was
first discovered in the Nizam state at “YELLANDU”. In those days pilgrims going to
“Bhadrachalam” used to travel by road. After getting down at “YELLANDU” railway
station man of the pilgrims used to cook their food with firewood in the vicinity of the
railway station before continuing their journey.
One such party arranged the fire place for cooking by lighting the firewood
between them. They observed that the stones were also burning sending out heat even
after the firewood was consumed. Based on their Companies act as a public limited
company with the name “THE SINGARENI COLLIERIES COMPANY LIMITED”, after
the name of the village “SINGARENI” near Yellandu.
In 1945, the Nizam of Hyderabad purchased the shares of the company at

London stock exchange and this action brought the company under Government control
through a Trust Fund.
Thus, the Singareni Collieries Company Limited has the distinction of being the
first Government owned Coal Company in India.
After the need for massive investment and expansion of coal sector was felt,
following the oil crisis, the Government of India stepped up investment in SCCL. The
quity capital is shared in the ration 51:49 between Governments of Andhra Pradesh and
Government of India. The assistance is by tripartite agreements between SCCL.,
Page 10
Government of Andhra Pradesh. The present Managing Director of SCCL is Sri S.
Narasinga Rao, I.A.S., and production for 2011-2012 is 504.25 lakh tones.
INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
In a developing economy like India, coal mining industry occupies a vital place
because coal is the basic input for power and fuel to many basic and important
industries like power house, iron, steel, railways, shipping and construction industries
etc., in addition other industries like cement, fertilizers, chemicals, paper industries are
the main consumers of coal for their major input as fuel OR energy requirement in
process. Despite the development of alternate fuel sources like Electricity, petrol and
solar energy, coal continue to be major fuel material in any country.
During the last ten years the coal production in India is increased from 186
Million tones in 1990-1991 to 289 Million tones in 1990-2000 by registering growth of
5% in India, coal-producing companies are in public sector and they are under the direct
administration of the ministry of coal.
The following public sector undertaking is dealing with coal production.

COAL RESERVES TO LAST FOR 243 YEARS:
The Union Coal Minister, Mr.Dasari Narayana Rao, has informed the Rajya
Sabha that as per the latest estimates 2,47,846.85 million tone (mt) of coal are available
up to a depth of 1,200 meters in the country and would last for 243 years. In written
reply to the upper house, Murray said the all-India coal production in 2004-2005 was
382.14 mt. He said the sustainability of coal reserves in the country was derived from
available proven reserves and present production rate and was typically defined by
reserves to production ratio. The all-India coal demand in 2005-06 as finalized by the
planning Commision is 445.65mt and the requirement of lignite for Neyveli lignite
Corporation;s (NLC) operation is 20.4 mt for 2005-06.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:
Page 14
While historically technology has been a critical factor in SCCL’s ability to reduce
environment impacts and occupational hazards, the need to constantly increase
productivity and cut costs has demand that the company goes in for phased
mechanization and adapts state of the art technologies.
SCCL pioneered mechanization of coal mines in India by adopting coal drilling

machines as far back as in 1937. In 1950 Shuttle Cars, Gathering Aem Loaders,
Conveyors and coal plough Equipment were introduced. Later in a path breaking move
to replace arduous manual labor, Road Headers, Load Haul Dumpers and Side Dump
loaders were gradually brought in.
A combination of modern machines in Open Cast Mining like Walking Draglines,

Shovels and High Capacity dumpers were introduced in 1975. input Crushing and
Conveyor technology for Over Burden removal and coal extraction was commissioned
for the first time in Ramagundam. Open Cast Mine with German assistance in 1994.
In 2002, Surface Miner Technology which not only facilities cost education but
also contributed to eco friendly miring was introduction for the first time. Long wall
technology in Under Ground Mining in 1983 and also Blasting Gallery (BG) Technology
in 1989 were other notable introductions. Today, with 4 Long wall Panels and 5 BG
Panels working in the company, mechanization of Under Ground Mines is being
planned with state of the art technologies like Continuous Miner and Punch Long wall.
Already the mechanization of Under Ground Mining has seen the commissioning of 104
side Discharge Loaders and 37 Load Haul Dumpers that have enhanced safety and
productivity during the last four years. Other innovations in under Ground Mines are 35
man-riding systems (chairlift and railcar) that have improved transportation inside the
mines.

SINGARENI COLLIERIES EDUCATION SOCIETY
The establishment of educational institutions in the Coal Belt area has taken the
roots in the year 1975 under the stewardship of Sri B N Raman, IAS, the then Chairman
& MD of SCCL.
At the time, when there are dearth of educational institutions in coal belt area and
the children of work force are constrained to travel to far off places to pursue studies
had been addressed with the starting of S C Women’s College to cater the needs of
imparting quality education for both Intermediate and Degree students in a common
premises. The S C Women’s College has been started in the year 1975 at Kothagudem
commemoration of the International Women’s Year. Along with S C Women’s College,
the S C High School, KK was established in the year 1975 itself for serving the needs of
school going children. Subsequently, the S C Girls’ High School at Kothagudem was
started in the very next year 1976 on being transferred the ownership of ZPGHS from
the Government to the SCCL. With the growth of demand and persistent request from
the work force/Trade Union Leaders, the educational institutions were established in the
coal belt area spread over in 4 districts in the subsequent years over a period of time.
Of late, during the year 2008-09, S C Polytechnic College was established at CCC,
Naspur near Mancherial town of Adilabad district to offer technical education to the
children of SCCL serving employees’ and ex-employees. Hither to, the educational
institutions were run by T&E of SCCL. With the formation of Singareni Collieries
Educational Society having a separate entity funded by SCCL, the education wing was
separated from T&E and all the Singareni educational institutions were brought under its
administrative control w.e.f 01.06.2001.The SCES is governed by its General Body,
