CHAPTER -I
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Human resources play a crucial role in the development process of modern economics. Arthur Lewis observed, There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have roughly equal resources, so it is necessary to inquire into difference in human behavior. It is felt that though the exploitation of natural resources, availability of physical and financial resources and international aid play prominent role in the growth of modern economics, none of these factors is more significance than efficient and committed manpower. It is in fact said that all development comes from human mind. When individuals come to their workplace, they come with not only technical skill, knowledge etc, but also with their personal feelings, perception, desires, motives, attitudes, values etc. They want that some of their needs should be satisfied through the organization for which they are working. Therefore employee management does mean management of not only technical skills but also other of the human resources. After employees have been hired, trained and remunerate, they need to be retained and maintained to serve the organization better. Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well being of the employees. They do not generally result in any monetary benefit to the employees. Nor these facilities provided by employers alone. Governmental and non-governmental agencies and trade unions too, contribute towards employee welfare. Welfare means faring or doing well. It is comprehensive term, and refers to the physical, mental, moral and emotional well being of an individual. Further the term welfare is a relative concept, relative in time and space. It therefore varies from time to time; form region to region and from country to country. Lab our welfare also referred to as betterment work for employees, relates to taking care of the well-being of workers by employers, trade union, and government and non-government agencies. Thousands of employees throughout the world lose their fingers, eyes, limbs and lives, everyday. Much blood flows in the sewers of industrial establishments. The peril inherent in industrial work has made the life of the worker very cheap. Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence of risk or injury or loss.

5.2 SUGGESTION

1) Safety and health recorders should be kept and maintained for reducing unfair events and for maintaining safety organization, 2) More training programmers should be conducted for better site planning and layout security hence appropriate training levels should be implemented 3) Sufficient and suitable washing facility should be facilitated. 4) Arrangements to the employees for Sitting should be made 5) Materials, tools and teeth of cutting tools to be kept sharp for working much more effectively. 6) Medicines for employees incase of inability for employee welfare. 7) Clean working environment must be facilitated for better and safe working. 8) Leave should be permitted by the authorities incase of disability of the employees. 9) Safety equipments should be given for every workers who indulges in risky operations.

86

5.3 CONCLUSION
