CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTIONThe human resource has immense potential. The role of economic development of any
nation depends on the degree of effective mobilization of these resources. The economic
planning envisaging material progress should count on the role of human labour for
harnessing the physical resource of the economy .As human resources from the basis of
very existence of life on the earth of late, the government of India has set up an
Independent Ministry of HRD to carter to the all around development of human resource.
Labour, as a factor of production has certain characteristics that set it apart from others
while land and capital has no mind of their own, labour dose have it. The physical
presence of labour combines with his attitude carves out a special place for labour in the
production process.
The attitude of labour toward the worker holds the key for his performance and unless a
labour is enthusiastic , committed and devoted ,the fruit of his abilities innate acquired
and developed can not be repeated. It can be said without any hesitation that all
industrialist should realize that “one can buy a man’s time the physical presence at a
particular place , even few muscular movements, but enthusiasm , initiatives, loyalty and
devotion to duty can not be bought”. Labour marks a distinction from other factors of
production on two counts.
a) Management, supervision, organization, co-ordination and such other functions
owe their origin to labor.
b) Unlike capital, which is a depreciating assert, labour is doubtedly an
appreciating assert, contributing more and more to productivity with the
advancement in experience and expertise.
When labour occupies such as prominent place and has a pivotal to play, it is necessarily
may be imminent to provide for its performance through creation proper industrial
atmosphere. Thus the workers performance depends upon the physical and mental
capabilities, which is in turn depends on various factor like working and living condition,
education, health, hygienic and sanitation. In view of the several peculiarities of Indian
Labour composition, Migratory nature, low level of living etc., the importance of these
welfare activities need explict emphasis.
Labour is an asset of every company. The needs of the labour must be satisfied in order to
meet the goals of the organization. Any organization would be effective only when there
is high degree of co-operation between the labour and management. Management seeks
co-operation between the labour force by providing welfare facilities. These welfare
facilities go a long way stimulating interest in the workers to produce their full capacity
and pay a good return to management in the long run. Therefore, labour welfare activities
act as motivators
And the rest in the higher productivity and the profit . It also enables the worker
employed in industries to perform their work in healthy congenital surrounding
conductive to good health & 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 environment and are provided with those basic
amenities of life which have direct bearing on his physical efficiency. Thus plan of
labours welfare regard as an important part of scheme for rising efficiency of labour.
PROBLEM OF THE STATEMENT:Researcher project titled “A Study On Employee welfares Measure With Special

emtion well being .The social concept of welfare of man and his family hic community.
There is interconnection of there aspect .In the sense that all the three works together or
individual supplement on another,in a three dimensional approach Each serving are ends.
Definition:The term labour welfare is one, which tends itself to various interpretation and it has not
always the same significance in different countries . As appointed out by the same
significance in labour ,the term “welfare” as applied to the Industrial worker as author
James ODD Remarks ,”a series of supply diverse option exists on motives merits
Industrial welfare work.
LABOUR WELFARE:According to proud, welfare work refers to the effort on the part of employee to improve

factories.
PRINCIPEL OF LABOUR WELFARE:Labour welfare is dependent on certain basic principles, which must be kept in mind

place of earning s when they are interrupted by an unemployment ,sickness or accident to
provide an income up to a minimum and also medical treatment to bring the interruption
of earning to an end as soon as possible.
CONCEPT: Social security is primarily an instrument of social and economic justice.
Social security is the security that society furnishes through appropriate
organization against certain risk to which its member is exposed.
OBJECTIVES OF SOCIAL SECURITY:The objectives of social security can be sub-summed under three categories
1. COMPENSATION
2. RESTOATION
3. PRVENTION

SOCIAL SECURITY MEASURES IN INDIA: In the pre-industrial society, security against various contingencies was provided by the
institution like joint family, caste, guild, village community, religious institution,
etc .Eventually; the emergence of industrial revolution changed both the nature of nines
security as well as the remedies provided for it. The United States of America is
considered to be the birth place of modern social security Act, 1935 under which a United
Social Insurance System was established as the first major step taken in the field of social
security .An old age pension system was also established by the Act of 1935. In 1938, a
social security Board was set up to administer social security measures in the United
States. Later on, the term “social security” was adopted in various countries, of course, in
different forms.
The introduction of social security measures in India is expectedly a recent one. In fact,
the making of climate for industrial security in India started from the 10 th session of the
International Labour Conference held in1927 in which two convention and
recommendations were adopted for social security in the country.
These were discussed thread by bare in the Indian Legislatively Assembely in1928.
However, the Assembely resolved that the introduction of any comprehensive scheme for
social security on the lines proposed by the ILO was impracticable under conditions then
prevailing in the country .Later, the preparatory Asian Regional Labour Conference, held
in New Delhi in 1947 adopted a comprehensive resolution on social security
implementation in various Asian Countries. Following this resolution, the Employees
State Insurance Act, 1948 was enacted in India to inaugurate the social security measures
in the country.
As stated earlier, India, as a “Welfare State”, is expected to take care of the citizens from
the ‘cradle to the grave’. It is this realization; the constitution of India lays down that the
State shall, within the limits of its resources and development, make effective provisions
for securing public assistance in event of unemployment, old age, sickness, and
disablement. The constitutional obligation has served as epoachmaking in India’s effort
in the field of social security schemes have been introduced in the country. Among the
social assistance schemes, old- age assistance schemes are the most important ones. It
was the Government of Uttar Pradesh who introduced old-age assistance scheme for the
