INTRODUCTION
HERBAL INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The Ayurvedic industry in India is probably the oldest medical care
system in the world. The history of herbs in ancient India is so old that the
ancient form of herbal healing has even been mentioned in the Vedas, an
ancient religious work of the Hindus. The Rig Veda, which is believed to date
back to 3000 BC mentions the ancient practice of Ayurvedic healing, while the
Atharva Veda classifies the field of Ayurveda into eight divisions, each dealing
with a different part and function of-the human body and its organs. In ancient
times, it was therefore the Vedic Brahmins who performed this ancient form of
healing using herbal plants.
The ancient herbal healing methods of Ayurveda and Unani deal with the
use of herbs and natural products to tackle health conditions. Ayurveda does not
have a place as a perfect form of medicinal treatment in the developed world
today but the ancient practice is still practiced by many Indians. In fact, due to
the adverse effects of the components of many allopathic drugs, even people in
the western world have turned to Ayurvedic remedies for cures or at least to
supplement their allopathic treatment with. Consequently, recent years have seen
a great increase in the worldwide demand for herbal cures, herbal skin care
products and even herbal cosmetics.
In modern times, the world has grown to appreciate this ancient form of
medicine and consequently Indian herbal products manufacturers are benefiting
from a tremendous demand for their goods. The herbal products industry in India
is growing rapidly and witnesses almost a thirty percent growth rate annually.
There are also many scholars and students of medicine from other
parts of the worlds who now want to learn more about the field of Ayurveda.
However, even in olden times, scholars and medics from Greece, Rome, Tibet,
Egypt and Persia had also been intrigued enough to make trips to India to learn
about Ayurvedic medicine.
Some of the popular herbal products today are those that fit into a travel kit.
Such travel kits do not contain complicated instructions or difficult to manage
potions but rather contain basic herbal medications for minor cuts and ailments.
Some of the basic contents of such an herbal kit would include Aloe Vera, which
has been acknowledged as a 'miracle drug' the world over, ginger, garlic,
peppermint, etc.
While herbal medicines would therefore appear to be new for western
healers and medical practitioners, the truth is that most prescribed medicines even
today contain plant extracts. These plant extracts are thereafter fortified by
combining them with other ingredients. It is probably for this reason that even the
World Health Organization has finally seen fit to endorse certain herbal medicinal
care treatments. The World Health Organization now claims that such alternative
herbal medical practices offer a relevant therapy. Although herbal medicines are
still comparatively hard to obtain in America because of the rigid code of
standardization the medicines must comply by in that country, other countries like
Germany even have regular medical practitioners prescribing herbal drugs.
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have made employees dependent
on capitalist. Inflation has made their lot poor and they find it difficult to maintain
their standard of life. In such situations employee welfare facilities enable
workers to live a richer and more satisfactory life. After employees have been
hired, trained and remunerated they need to be retained and maintain to serve the
organization better. Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well being
of the employees. Nor are these facilities provided by employer alone.
Governmental and non-governmental agencies and trade unions too,
contribute towards employee's welfare.
1.1 DEFINITIONS
The International Labour Organization defined labour welfare as
"Such services, facilities and amenities as may be established in or in the
vicinity of the undertakings to enable the persons employed in them to perform
their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and provided with amenities
conducive to good health and high morale".
According to the committee on Labour Welfare, welfare services should mean-
"Such services, facilities and amenities as adequate canteens, rest and
recreation facilities, sanitary and medical facilities, arrangement for travel to and
from the place of work, and for the accommodation of the workers employed at a
distance from their homes; and such other services, amenities and facilities
including social security measures, as contribute to the conditions under which
workers are employed".
The Encyclopedia of social services has defined Labour Welfare work as-
"The voluntary efforts of the employers to establish,within the existing
industrial system, working and sometimes, living and cultural conditions of
employees beyond what is required by law, the custom of the country and the
condition of the market".

above what is provided by statutory provisions or required by the custom of the
industry or what the employees expect as a contract or services from the
employers.

the whole personality "Of the worker-his social, psychological, economic, moral,
cultural and intellectual development to make him a good worker, a good citizen
and good member of the family. The facilities may be provided voluntarily by the
employers out of their social responsibility towards labour, or statutory
responsibilities compel them to make these facilities available; or these may be
undertaken by the government or trade unions, if they have necessary fund for the
purpose.
Labour welfare also covers social security and such other activities as
medical aid, creches, canteens, recreation, housing, adult education, arrangements
for transport of labour to and from the work place.

LITERATURE FRAMEWORK
CHAPTER III
LITERATURE FRAMEWORK
Meaning and definition of employee's welfare
Welfare means fairing or doing well. It is a comprehensive term, and refers
to the physical, mental, oral 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, from region to region and from country to
country.
The Institute of Labour Welfare Organization define, "Labour welfare as a
term which is understood to include such services, facilities and amenities as
may be established in the vicinity of undertaking to enable the persons
employed in them to perform their work in healthy, congenial'surroundings
and to provide them with amenities conducive to good health and high
morale".
Objectives of Employee's Welfare
It helps to improve the quality of new recruitment. As the job becomes
more attractive, more effective employees can be recruited. Employee's
welfare improves the morale and loyalty of workers by making them happy
and satisfied. It reduces labour turnover and absenteeism thereby building a
stable work force. Welfare measures help to improve the goodwill and public
image of the enterprise.
EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Welfare includes anything that is done for the comfort and improvement of
employees and is provided over and above the wages. Welfare helps in
keeping the morale and motivation of the employees high so as retain the
employees for longer duration. The welfare measures need not be in
monetary terms only but in any kind/forms. Employee welfare includes
monitoring of working conditions, creation of industrial harmony through
infrastructure for health, industrial relations and insurance against disease,
accident and unemployment for the workers and their families. Employee
welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote
healthy industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace.
There must provide "adequate and appropriate" welfare facilities for the
employees. These must be provided unless they are unreasonable in terms of
time, cost and physical difficulty.
Welfare facilities include toilets, washing facilities, rest and changing
facilities, personal security arrangements (e.g. Lockers) and refreshment.
There must be a sufficient number of toilets and washing facilities so that
people should not have to queue for long periods to use them. These should
be separate for male and female, unless there have a very small number of
staff. The facilities must be clean, and provided with toilet paper, soap,
drying facilities, and hot and cold running water. They must be well lit, and
ventilated to the external air. Sometimes a shower may be necessary.
There must provide a supply of clean and wholesome drinking water, which
is easily accessible to all employees. Cups should be provided and the taps
clearly labelled. There must consider whether suitable facilities are available
to staff working off-site or on temporary sites.
If not, temporary arrangements must be provided. Some workers may need
to be provided. Some workers may need to be provided with portable
facilities for hand washing.
If the work activity requires employees to change into specialist clothing,
they must provide changing rooms and facilities for secure storage of
personal belongings. They may need to consider separate storage for clean
and dirty clothing, or the provision of laundry facilities.
Employee welfare is a very broad area of interest. In our organization
employee welfare is addressed to varying degrees by measures such as:
1.Family friendly policies - For example, staff can in most positions opt to
work part time. Or they can choose to "purchase" extra annual leave (i.e. Get
paid slightly less each fortnight, but get an extra 2-4 weeks of.annual leave)
Flexi time - Most staff can choose how early or late they start each day, so
long as they are here between 10 am and 4 pm. Of course, they have to make
up time if they regularly start late or finish early. Staff can carry up to 20
hours deficit or 20 hours surplus from one month to the next. If in surplus,
staff can take this time off with manager approval.
Employee Assistance Programs- Our agency has an arrangement with an
external counseling service so that employees or members of their immediate
family can access counseling on any matter what so ever - work issues, drug
and alcohol problems, family dynamics etc.
Policies on bullying and harassment in the workplace. Psychological
health is a big focus for us and sadly there are a few managers who are very
"unhealthy" for their staff.
Paid Maternity & Adoption leave. A recent industrial decision enables
staff to have up to 12 weeks paid maternity or adoption leave and up to 2
years unpaid leave for each child. Of course, under equal opportunity
legislation the organization is obliged to allow the employee to return to their
position when this leave is finished.
6. The agency maintains a "family friendly" website that has links to support
services for a whole range of things - parenting, domestic violence, child
abuse, health issues ( specific to men and women) etc.
Employees Welfare Committee
I. Legal Requirement-
The law requires establishment of an Employees Welfare Committee (EWC),
with management and employee participation, to have custody of and
disburse an Employee Welfare Fund, which receives r contribution from the
Company and from each employee. The Employees Welfare Committee
prepares a welfare program and has established an Employees Welfare
Association (EWA) to administer the program. All Employee Welfare
Organizational and fiscal matters are under the rules and control of
competent Government authority.
II. Organization-
The Employees Welfare Committee consists of nine members, including
representatives of the Labour Union. The committee meets every three
months. A chief executive appointed by the committee is delegated to
exercise Employee Welfare Committee authority between meetings. A
chairman who supervises EWA personnel and manages EWA programs
heads the EWrA.
III. Finances
The company legally required contribution to the Employee Welfare Fund
includes 0.10 percent of gross income plus 40 % of proceeds from scraps
sales. Additionally the company provides land, buildings and facilities (and
maintenance thereof), and furnishes a number of full time administrative
employees to the EWA and provides a monthly cash subsidy. The employees
contribute approximately 0.5 percent of their base salaries to the fund.
Periodic financial statements are required and submitted to competent
government authorities.

groups, sponsorship of recreational events, company excursion arrangement,

towards providing the employees with certain facilities and services in
addition to wages or salaries.
Objectives of labour welfare
To provide better life and health to the workers To make the workers happy

Features of labour welfare measures
Labour welfare includes various facilities, service and'amenities
provided to workers for improving their health, efficiency, economic
betterment and social status. Welfare measures are in addition to regular
wages and other economic benefits available to workers due to legal
provisions and collective bargaining. Labour welfare schemes are flexible
and ever-changing. New welfare measures are added to the existing ones
from time to time.
Welfare measures may be introduced by the employers,
government, employees or by any social or charitable agency.
The purpose of labour 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 scheme is to create efficient,
healthy, loyal and satisfied labour 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
increase their productivity.
Employers gel stable labour force by providing welfare
facilities. Workers take active interest in their jobs and work a feeling of
involvement and participation. The social evils prevalent among the labours
such as substance abuse, etc are reduced to a greater extent by the welfare
policies:
LABOUR'S WELFARE WARFARE
Labour would start to attack working class people almost
immediately in particular with a full frontal assault on welfare benefits might
have surprised some. Now events have shown that indeed labour has this in
mind and is acting very rapidly to carry out its attacks.
Labour is planning to axe maternity benefits. It disguises this
attack behind the propaganda that women earning 1 million a year should not
get maternity benefits. In reality this is aimed at women in ordinary white
collar jobs.
They are also planning to cut disability benefits by forcing the disabled into
jobs that would be totally unsuitable. When Harriet Herman became
secretary of state for social security she refused to increase incapacity
benefits. probably amongst the lowest in the EU. Now the disabled are being
forced back to work with camouflage propaganda about personal advisers
talking with the disabled - threatening and bullying them. Another part of the
attack on welfare benefits is the old lie much used by the Tories, now dusted
off and polished up by labour that fraud is taking place on a massive scale
with the benefits system. Labour plucked the figure of 17 % from the air.
This figure was supplied by the department of social security itself, when
other surveys suggest around 2 % fraud. At the same time big businessmen,
including people like Geoffrey Robinson, the paymaster general are tax
dodging by salting their money away in offshore trusts - perhaps as much as
96 billion.
Labour will cut single parent benefits further scapegoat a
section of the working class that had already been scapegoat under the
Tories. Labour knows that a large part of the social security budget goes on
pensions. This is likely to increase with an increasing proportion of elderly in
the population. Labour will attempt to close down state pensions and force
people to take out private pensions. Many will find this difficult to pay,
already finding it hard to make ends meet.
Slave labour
Labours welfare to work scheme through the new deal is
designed to provide cheap labour to the employers through training,
education and job opportunities. Those who refuse to be forced into
derisorily low paid jobs will have their benefits removed. Many of these
involve sending people to work for charities, councils, or for supermarkets.
This will provide slave labour workers and threaten the wages of those
already working in these sectors. The education part will mean NVQ level 2
qualifications at further education colleges. This means training for semi-
skilled jobs. Those already signing on and taking NVQ level 3 will only be
allowed to continue if it is thought that there will be "job prospects". 69,000
enrolled on A level and Access courses will find themselves being forced
onto these schemes. These education schemes would be totally shoddy, with
little chance of a job at the end, and with a direct aim of camouflaging
unemployment figures.
Labour is hiding these attacks behind the propaganda of
'"Radical Welfare Reform" "New Deal" "New Opportunities". These soap ad
jingles disguise a brutal attack on the welfare system as does the statement
that "The country can't afford the massive spending on the welfare state". In
fact Britain is the third lowest in the EU league of 11 countries expenditure
on health and welfare benefits. Labour wants to make sure the British bosses
have to fork out less for benefits.
At the same time labour has signaled its policy on wages. Public
sector workers-teachers, health workers etc. were due to get a pay rise of 3.S
%. With 3.7 % inflation and the cost of living soaring, even this would be
pathetic. Labour intervened to stop the Pay Review Bodies paying out, and
ordered that 2 % only be paid from April. The rest to be paid in December.
This means that 8 months worth of an already measly rise will be taken off
wages. This is the biggest pay delay ever in public sector history. Nurses will
lose 5 a week and teachers 50 a month.
In addition, all pay awards will be what Gordon Brown calls
self - financing. No extra money will be given by the government and
schools and hospitals will make the pay awards by cutting elsewhere. This
was already carried out by the previous conservative government resulting in
the loss of 2,50,000 public sector jobs since 1993.
Blair intends to make this a signal to workers in the
private sector and to all public sector workers not covered by the Pay Review
Bodies. Unison, the union representing many public sector workers has put
forward a demand for a 10 % pay rise or an increase of 1,000 (whichever is
greater). This is due to outrange
among public sector workers. In fact, it will do nothing to push this demand
and the unison leaders are ready to accept the PRB decisions. Unison will
attempt to sabotage any industrial action by pointing to the
implementation of a national minimum wage as a solution. It will also point
out that David Blunkett, threatened to ban strikes in the public sector.
